Mosca - Zebra ...
As is usual with me, I have no idea. I see only very pretty and for his drawings and stripes, reminds me of a zebra.
Some of you can identify. ?
In mountain slope next to the coast, in Castell de Ferro, Granada, Spain.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks to Paul and ChrisR.
I suppose that the identification of the fly will stay in Sarcophagidae. fly flew, and it must be too far away to study their genitalia ....
Indeed. If you ever had a chance to capture another specimen, how to do to study their genitalia?.
The fly is beautiful. But his name is ugly: it sounds a corpse ....

The name 'Sarcophaga' refers to the pupa

Theo, are you sure it is not just that the larvae feed on dead meat? Meigen (1826) just says 'Sarcophagus
Fleischfresser nach dem Griechischen.'
http://www.archiv...3/mode/2up. Is there another explanation somewhere else?
