Hello,

I found this dead, inside on 7th January. Near Lincoln UK, size ~5mm.

I can try to take closer shots of certain areas if required.

Janet

That would make it easier. :D I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Copromyza stercoraria. Once I was able to spread the wings I could see the typical desclerotization on syntergite 1-2. Sorry that it took a while, it has been a bit busy at the office.

Thank you! :)

That would make sense, I took photos of a female which I thought looked like Copromyza stercoraria inside climbing the window shortly before I found this one. They look so different!
