From midwest Sweden 2006-07-07 ... with plumose arista. I guess it's hard to ID!? I can't even tell what family it belongs ... Edit: Changed subject (Unknown diptera) crex attached the following image:  [94.06Kb] Edited by crex on 16-08-2006 11:40 |

Tony Irwin wrote: Male Musca autumnalis. Very glamorous photos! Thank you Tony  This one differs a bit from the one in the gallery (female from Portugal). Mine lacks the clear stripes on thorax. Musca autumnalis seems to be spread all over the world. I wonder if there are defined races in this species or perhaps only the appearance differs. |

The photo in the gallery shows a female, which has more boldly marked stripes. The difference is shown quite well in Louis' post - see http://www.dipter...post_12475
