Hello Forum,
the fly on the attached picture I photographed on June 6th 2007 in an (artificial) alder marshland in Hagen (Germany)- 175 m above see level. The plant in the background is
Petasites hybridus.
My first impression is
Lucilia caesar. Is that right or not?
Thank you for helping me,
Josef

It is a female
Lucilia, but not enough detail is visible to give you a species. I would say it is probably not
L caesar though.
