2007, Thai, Khao Chamao NP, 09 Dec, on dead crab (which I took from Pattaya).
By the way this crab gave me a lot interesting:
Chrysomya villeneuvi, Hydrotaea spinigera, Sepsis testacea, Sepsis sp., Protopiophila sp. and a lot common, but interesting for me like:
Myospila lauta, Hydrotaea chalcogaster, and a lot unknown so far...

Well, I don't recocgnise it, but the thoracic colour looks so similar to Discomyza maculipennis (see http://www.dipter...post_47469) that I think it must be another Discomyza (or are they are all covered in crab juice?! Pfft)
