Hello!
I need help with the ID of this fly.
Date: 2025/05/13
Location: natural garden with small lake, Vienna Basin, Lower Austria
Size 7mm
I thought it might be Carcelia spec (Tachinidae) but then I got the suggestion that it might actually be a fly of the subfamily Miltogramminae (Sarcophagidae).
The question has remained open until now.
Can anyone resolve it?
Greetings Una
Hey Una,
Interesting find! I can see why there’s confusion, it does look a bit like both. The slimmer body makes me lean toward Miltogramminae, but a clearer shot of the antennae or wings would really help confirm it.
