i am very tired today. I've been studying php and i'm trying to build a secure login system. anyway, i had to eat something to restore some energy.
after looking at this closer, i think that there are only two ac. I cannot tell. the eyes are very close together (less than the width of the 3rd antennal segment.) Therefore, this is more likely a male of caesar, ampullacea or illustris if there are only two ac. i have trouble judging these bristles with such angles. maybe someone else can tell if there are three or two ac.
do you have a better photo of the thorax to be certain? lucilia are very difficult and most times require genitalia. in the future, try to get a clear count of post acrostichals in the photo, as well as mid tibia, basicosta and palpi. otherwise, you may need genitalia for a positive id.
once again, please ignore my earlier post.
