I've seen this fly quite a few times but have never been able to get an ID, it's quite a stunner with its shimmering blue bands on the abdomen Would appreciate any help oceanlis2000 attached the following image:  [107.69Kb] Edited by oceanlis2000 on 17-01-2011 11:14 |

Calliphora vicina female. I agree this is a very handsome fly. Look out too for its cousin C. vomitoria which has a ginger beard! |
