1. I have also found Graphomya maculata on decomposed carrion also in some articles (I do not remember titles now) I have read about G. maculata recorded from bodies, but it was only single or only few specimens. Probably decomposing carrion is very good source of proteins also for Graphomya. 2. It is real, nice, grey proboscis  and hairy lebellum below |

Probably decomposing carrion is very good source of proteins also for Graphomya. Indeed, there where always one or two, not more. I wil observe next time if they are mostly female (proteins = more and bigger eggs... ) It is real, nice, grey proboscis and hairy lebellum below Wow....very large then ! Thanks for reply Joke van Erkelens |
