Is this a Calliphora at all? Vienna, in August Edited by Carnifex on 24-08-2021 06:40 Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

(however, basically relying on the British key - not sure what additional species might occur in eastern Austria...)
