Hello! The last flies for today ;-) from me. Are these all Scatophaga stercoraria? The couple photo I took two days ago near the forest (Ostwestfalen/Germany), the greenish one (somewhat smaller, < 10 mm) came to the light yesterday evening. Thanks in advance!

Hi J?rgen The lower one is stercoraria; the upper ones are also Scathophaga, but a different species. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Jurgen you can tell easily and quickly that the pair at the top are not S stercoraria because they do not have black antennae.

I think that top pair is Scathophaga suillia. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

This character is not mentioned in my (rudimentary and more general) literature. @Nikita: Fine that also the couple gets a definite name! :-) Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hi Juergen. Look at yellow shoulders - it is good character for S. suillia. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
