Hello!

I have the impression that Calliphora vomitoria is more numerous in relation to the ubiquitous C. vicina here in Ostwestfalen/Germany this year. I find her rather often on umbelliferous flowers in the forest recently, attracting my attention from a distance because of being considerably bigger and appearing darker. Is it possible that this species is more restricted to woodland than C. vicina, which I find almost everywhere?
