Hi,
is it possible to get an ID for this female
Lucilia? I am not sure that I get all features right, but this is what I think I see:
- dark second abdominal tergite
- dark basicosta (?)
- post-sutural bristles: 3ac, 2dc
- reddish palps
More features can probably be seen in the photos. Found in a garden in Vienna, end of June

most likely a female Lucilia caesar but it cannot be separated from illustris and ampullacea without genitalia. This is the time of year where all three cross paths. A certain id is impossible here.

Tergite 2 is green. 2 acrostichals, 3 dorsocentrals.
