hi flyforum,

I found this sun-bathing female Calliphoridae in the Amsterdam forest Acer-leaves.

Is it Lucilia? and is id possible?

It is female L. caesar or illustris. Needs someone with more experience than me to separate them, even with these excellent photos.

Thanks a lot Susan,

What makes it L. caesar or L. illustris in your opinion?
I like to know some of it, or is it 'just' the touch..(impression)

If someone want to see more detail from a specific part, I can cut that detail perhabs.


Like mouthparts, bucca, callypter and so on..
It would be nice if id could be possible of such a common Calliphoridae.


a more detailed-picture, for example

My problem with this one was that I thought the front end looked like caesar and the back end like illustris Shock so in the end I decided I couldn't call it.

A blown up crop of your second picture showing T6 and its bristles may give us an answer.
