Well, both Lucilia caesar and Lucilia illustris can be found in urban enviroment, but they are not as strongly synanthropic as Lucilia sericata, except in the northern parts of their range, where they are wholly dependent on man.

Protophormia terraenovae is another species that is somewhat associated with man in Europe. Together with Calliphora vicina, it is probable the species I most often encounter in forensic entomology cases here in Norway.

Protophormia terraenovae is pretty common on refuse dumps in southern Norway.
