Hi! I'm an italian "insect fan" and this is my first post here. I received the URL of your site from a friend that suggested me to post here a picture I shoot on the 20th of september, near my house in northern italy (about 100 metres of altitude), on a oak leaf. I'm not a dipterist so I don't know precisely what kind of fly is, but I thought it was a Lucilia caesar. Another friend identified it as a Lucilia sericata, but he wasn't sure... So I'm here to ask for your help  It is possible to identify this green fly?Thanx a lot!!! olaffio attached the following image:  [59.09Kb] ___________ Stefano ___________ |

Hello, I'm not a dipterist either, but it looks like a L.bufonivora. Better wait for the experts though.  |

I think it is more likely to be L silvarum, but with only one view, it is impossible to be definite. Caesar and bufonivora usually only have 2 post-sutural acr, sericata has a pale basicosta. Susan |
