Dear forum, I took this picture today in my garden. At first glance I thought it to be a Scathophaga stercoraria with prey. Then I remembered having read somewhere that S. stercoraria has to have black antennae. This one has not. If not stercoraria, which species could it be?

Niek, it is S.stercoraria OK. Antennae are black, but dusted and due to this dusting may seems not black. Nikita Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 21-05-2008 15:36 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
