Hello,

a 7-8 mm Scathophaga in our garden (northwest Germany) yesterday. Is it possible to tell the species?

Looks from this perspective quite similar to Scathophaga stercoraria female. But surely you had this in mind.

Greetings,
Frank.

The femora look too pale for S. stercoraria.

Hello,

this was not Scathophaga stercoraria (antennae not dark, different colouration), which I know well. Perhaps S. furcata?
Best regards,
Jürgen

Not stercoraria, I would also think furcata.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek
