hi This photo was taken yesterday and the fly was caught near Serpa on 12th August 2008. It is a new sarcophagid for me and a very striking one. The legs are full of macrotrichia - amazing legs! The abdomen is yellow-golden and with very nice spots. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [187.17Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 07-09-2014 12:46 |

I think it's a Wohlfahrtia.
Stephane. |

maybe.. it is pretty distinctive fly.  I'm sure this is a piece of cake for sarcophagidae experts. |

thanks to both! Is W. bella rare or rather common? |

It is neither rare nor common, in between, I'd say. In some cases, like goose farms in Hungary, the larvae are much more easy to find. And it is an impressive monster ! I can still tell you when and where I caught my first, 16 years ago. Theo |

It was precisely my feeling. It is such a joy to find all the time new flies even with 2 years on them. Now I need the next step: a very good binocular loup so I can give more precise IDs analyzing the genitalia. (However, I have a hand loup, very good quality that magnifies 20x) These 2 years I learnt much about flies grateful to this fantastic forum. And with the experts like you here. And still I have so much to learn. I only know an infinitesimal part of the diptera world. I really don't know why I love them. The feeling is more than strong. Terrible flying machines, perfect aerodynamics! Andrade can tell you how I react when I see a new fly. I hope in 16 years to have your level of knowledge. and where/when it was ?
