Hello, In the south of France, on May 02, 2018. A red beard may indicate Calliphora vomitoria but the spiracle is orange like Calliphora vicina Is it another species? Liliane D attached the following image:  [216.56Kb] Edited by Liliane D on 05-09-2019 10:22 |

Hello Liliane D, a female Calliphora vomitoria as prey of Synema globosum (Thomisidae) the anterior thoracic spiracle is usually infuscated (Rognes). I think that light can alter the appearance of the infuscation. see my attachment of microscopic differences based upon angle and lighting.

Thank you very much John, Lighting is indeed sometimes misleading. Best wishes, Liliane |
