Taken in Gijon Botanical Gardens on August 2012. Please, pay attention to the length of the 3rd anthennal segment. Black basicostas, 2 pairs of postsutural acrosticals. I think it can be Lucilia ampullacea but I have not references to compare. Help, please!!

Hi Piluca, it is difficult to distinguish Lucilia females with "dark" basicosta and 2 pairs of postsutural acrosticals - it might be L. ampulacea, L. caesar and L. illustris in Spain. The main difference between L. ampullacea and L. caesar/illustris is "absence" of coxopleural streaks at posterior spiracles (L. ampullacea doesn't have any...). The length of the 3rd anthennal segment can be useful but not conclusive...  Hana |
