Hello Forum, Found this fly today (about 7-8mm)....and could it become a Miltogramma sp. Because of the typical head Greatings Joke (after making photo, I let it free...  )

Not Miltogramma, because Miltogramma does have arista bare and no vibrissa. Liekele |

Hmmm...strange... Than I have also doubt if the next photo also isn't a Miltogramma.....because, it looks like the arista is not bare..? (was recently determinated as Miltogramma sp.) Greatings Joke javanerkelens attached the following image:  [108.05Kb] |

The last picture is indeed not Miltogramma. Chris Raper called it "a relative of Miltogramma" which is correct because it is Metopia female (both Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae). There was a second picture showing typical pattern on thorax and abdomen of Metopia female more clearly. In this picture the arista is not clearly visible and I agree te picture suggests it to be not bare. I expect this to be an artefact. Liekele |

I remember it, I could not place the word "relative"....so I misunderstand it. Next time, I just ask! Thanks very must for your answer!! Greatings Joke |
