i think it could be a Lucilia sp. if so, and even on the contrary, is it possible to go further with those pictures ? Paris area, may 21 2009. pat_der2003 attached the following image:  [160.63Kb] Edited by pat_der2003 on 02-06-2009 17:49 |

Excuse me Susan, doesn't black and not yellow palpus have diagnostic value? Thanks in advance for your explanation. Ciao Pietro |

Hi Pietro Palp colour is useful, but difficult in photos. The palp may not be yellow, but brown and still be OK for L. sericata. The key characters here are: heavily dusted with a clear division on the median line of the abdomen (L. richardsii is very shiny and lightly dusted); very wide frontalia (L. richardsii narrower, especially the orbitals).
