It's screaming "SARCOPHAGIDAE!!!" to me  Elongate R5 cell and 3 strong longitudinal thoracic vitae all point to that

Thank you Chris, for this quick answer. I didn't watch well and I didn't watch flies for a long time. I found it typically to find this flies next to the moths and expected Tachinidae. Are there any typical Sarcophagidae which use these place and moths? greeting Robert Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |
