Nice photos - mixed callaphorids (green/gold ones) & unidentifiable sarcophagids (the black/grey chequered ones) & musicds (the brown one at the end). The sarcophagids are impossible to identify from photos like this because only males can be identified reliably at the moment and even then only by disecting the genitalia and comparing to a good key.

Anyway, next time it would help if you post 1 species per thread - it gets confusing relating replies back to the photos when there are multiple species Smile Photos are displayed on the forum at the size they have been saved when you created them on your computer. To reduce the size just save to about 640x480 pixels (with medium-high compression) in PhotoShop, or whatever you use for photo editing Wink Also, images will be rejected by the forum if they are over about 190KB in size or have spaces in the filenames Smile

I think:
1. Musca
2,6. Lucilia
3-5. Sarcophagidae
7. Muscidae, Phaoninae

Acually: Recommended size is 600 pixels.
Also, images will be rejected by the forum if they are over about 190KB in size or have spaces in the filenames Smile

That only applies to attachments, not to links given in the forum. Wink

Also no need to post three photos of the same individual fly (the Sarcophaga) all from the same angle. With high quality photos like these, one is enough! Wink

Thank You all for Your replys. That's very kind of You.
Next Time, I will post only the picture of one species and smaller.

Your Lucilia appear to be two different species, but I cannot see enough to be confident of an ID. It is *possible* that the top one is bufonivora and the second one is silvarum, based on reading Falk, Rognes and Whitworth, but I would not put money on it. Neither of them appear to be sericata. They are both female. You almost always need both a lateral and a dorsal shot to ID Calliphorids.

I am cheered to see that Rognes says that most species of Calliphoridae can be identified fairly reliably on external characters. The exceptions are Bellardia, Protocalliphora and female Pollenia. There is hope after all Wink
