Hi, yesterday, 2019-04-28, I observed a yellowish fly sitting on a dark one, which obviously was not amused ... The yellow one should be Scathophaga stercoraria, right? The dark one, well ... I do not know. Germany, Northwest, near Oldenburg, at a meadow. Thanks for verification! Thomas Thomas Brand attached the following image: [75.35Kb] Edited by Thomas Brand on 29-04-2019 18:54 |

Yes, the dung fly is Scathophaga stercoraria, and its prey appears to be a Calliphora species, probably C. vicina
