Location: Hungary Habitat: garden Size: approx. 5 mm Date: 07-03-2007 This fly often appears over the lump of earth in these days. There is a shade of green in it thus I guess it is not a Scatophaga stercoraria. Am I right or not? Unfortunately I could take only one picture from it. eguzki attached the following image:  [62.64Kb] |

yes. 100% sure Scathophagidae. Scathophaga sp. (perhaps stercoraria?? but the yellow is more pale than usual...) let?s go see what say the experts.
