If I count correctly there are 3+3 dc and more than one postutural acrostichal, so Calliphoridae. |

Hello John, John Carr wrote: If I count correctly there are 3+3 dc and more than one postutural acrostichal, so Calliphoridae. ah, thank you! Even more interesting. Could it be Protocalliphora azurea? [Edit: No, only males of that species are so blue, and this seems to be a female.] Edited by Juergen Peters on 22-05-2018 17:57 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
