I found this fly on April 25th at Leerdam, Netherlands, in a small wooded area adjacent to the river Linge. I think it must be Heleomyzidae. Is that correct and could anything more be said about its identity? Thank you in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [128.31Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Looks like a female Scathophaga stercoraria. |

Ah, Scathophaga, of course. I always mix the ones with yellow antennae up with Heleomyzidae. Thank you, Phil and Nikita. Is it possible to tell which species it is from these photographs? http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |
