Hello! Is this fly with the protruding proboscis a Stomoxys calcitrans? Found yesterday at our house (Germany). Size like a normal house fly. Thanks in advance!

I think this is one of the easiest Muscids in Europe! |

Hello, Tony and Xespok! Thanks for your confirmation! It's not so easy if you don't know, whether there are other flies in the so many. many diptera families with such a long proboscis ;-) (which could also be used for other things than sucking blood...). I'm only an amateur and beginner X-). Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
