I suspect the population is spread across northern Greece - but no-one is sampling - don't forget I have done a lot of malaise trapping here - 7 traps in 2007 and 20 sites in all, plus yellowpans and these are the first i have found. Besides road kills livestock die - goats, sheep, cows etc. Often they just lie where they fall - there were several cows and a buffalo along the river nearer the lake last spring for instance. The bones are still around. One question is how far do the adults disperse from a given carcass. Another is are they restricted to lowland. I am watching for larvae and I am sure I saw some small white movement in a crevice yesterday.
