Hello!

I'm not sure, whether this is a "normal" Calliphora vicina. Its face seems rather dark to me, but it's clearly not C. vomitoria. Perhaps another species? Found last night at house (Ostwestfalen/Germany), caught by a sector spider.

Correct, it's vicina, by far the most common species

Thanks, Theo! I had hoped it could be one of the rarer winter species. Still looking more closely at each Calliphora these days - hoping I will some day find one of them... Wink

We, too. Can't remember such numbers of them (although they are always numerous around the house). Even overexceed the number of Nuctenea umbratica now. Shock
Best regards,
Jürgen

Nuctenea umbratica - very common in Pinus spp. awkward
It seems a little (ok?) like one of my favorite spider families: Trochanteriidae Grin (not palearctic though Sad )
