Hello, I have found this species while it was wander at home and a kind of fungus closed its mouthparts.  Would you please confirm the species? Who knows what kind of fungus attacked to it? Thanks so much for your help.  2012- 04- 25, Iran Sara21392 attached the following image:  [114.42Kb] Edited by Sara21392 on 15-06-2012 11:37 Sincerely yours Sara |

Not sure really but, as a general use, it is easier to identify specimens when they are dry. The liquid dulls all colours and dusting so it is difficult to tell

The fungus is impossible for identification, too?

I think this is no fungi, but are caused by fluids that have come from the mouth itself. Food or food juices could have stick to the mouthparts in the moisture.

information about size would be helpful. Cynomya mortuorum is one of the bigger Calliphorids with up to 18 mm. The face is yellow-golden |

Yes, it was almost the same size. and its face also, just because of that problem on its mouthparts, has been a bit dirty. Thank you very much.
