Hello, Nikita!

It isn't easy with this blue things.


I know, I know...

1. I can't choise between Protophormia terraenovae (pro - too dark and thorax looks flatterned) Lucilia sp. (pro - too white face and it becames too late for Protophormia).


Maybe all is a little bit late this year (we had a long winter until end of march here). The fly did not look like a typical Lucilia for me.

2. I think Cynomyia mortuorum, Calliphoridae. But with atypicaly white (not yellow face).


Thanks, you may be right. That species is flying numerously here at the moment, but I only knew the typical individuals, yet: http://insektenfo...e)_008.jpg
