No, Chrysomyia (presumably albiceps - Nikita?) Zcuc - see Nikita's image in the gallery http://www.dipter...oto_id=523

The head of Nikita's fly look much more whiter than mine. http://www.dipter...to_id=1302 Is it because it's a female or maybe I got something diffrent? could be lucilia sericata? zcuc attached the following image:  [53.59Kb] |

Hello, I think the main criterion for Chrysomya is the dark margin on the posterior end of the tergites. Pierre Duhem |

And the sub family Chrysominyiae body shape and the lack of thoracic bristles compared to Lucilia. Zcuc - you may have a different species to Nikita - I don't know what the choices are with you. I'm inclined to think the difference in colour is just a difference in light conditions though. Susan |
