Hello, yesterday I found this fly, which was killed by Entomophtora, in my garden (rhineland/germany). Can family/genus still be recognized? My guess is Muscidae, but I am not sure, wheter it isn't an Anthomyiidae. Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [53.23Kb] |

Thank you Tony. For my next fly: How can you distinguish these families? Michael |

Experience   . Anthomyiidae-Muscidae is probably the most difficult pair of families to separate, especially from photographs. No single (external) character works for all genera.
