Good afternoon, here is a picture of a fly from April 2022. I suspect it's Calliphora vicina ♂, but would like confirmation or correction. Habitat sandy dry grassland in southwest Germany. Thanks for the help. Bembix attached the following image:  [86.63Kb] Edited by Bembix on 09-02-2023 18:09 _____________________________________ many greetings Bembix |

Calliphora vicina has reddish 'cheeks', dark grey thorax and blue abdomen. You should be able to find some if you keep looking. There are a lot about, even in winter. |
