Can anyone suggest a family for this fly? Lauxaniidae? Trapped on window. Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image: [89.03Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 19-02-2015 03:54 |

It has a vibrissa, so not Lauxaniidae. I think this is Piophilidae. |

The ALA says that Piophila contecta is the prefered name, so Ill go with that. |
