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.

I think it's a Wohlfahrtia.

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

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.

It was precisely my feeling. It is such a joy to find all the time new flies even with 2 years on them. Smile 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. Smile 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. Smile

I hope in 16 years to have your level of knowledge. Smile

and where/when it was ? Smile
