 In a clearing in woodland near Guisborough, North Yorkshire, UK, on 2010-08-08.
Thorax looks too blue for Calliphora vomitoria or C. vicina.
Any ideas?

 But, if I understand correctly, it is the male Protocalliphora azurea that are supposed to be noticably blue, and this is a female. Does that make any difference?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
