Can we say, that the differents between M.autumnalis and M.larvipara is manly the lenght of the black hairs on the suprasquamal ridge ....
M.autumnalis = whit a group of black hairs
M.larvipara = black hairs on whole lenght

(Beside the differents of the lenght of the two flies...M.autumnalis 4,5-7,8 mm and M.larvipara 6-9 mm and M.larvipara is never spotted in the Netherlands)

And if so....are there not many mistakes between those two flies.

Might be Musca sorbens as well

And Klaas...I have never heard of Musca sorbens...???

Only curious....JokeB)
