hello everybody, I'm interested in insects but I'm an amateur  .So, I would be happy if someone could help me identifying the following fly which I saw last week on an excursion near Frankfurt. There were a lot of flies - including Calliphora ssp. - on a dunghill. See picture 1:  I want to know the yellow one you can see a little closer in the following picture:  Especial the spotted wings and the yellow abdomen I can not find in any book. Here is an link for an additional bigger picture. Keep  Horst |

Platystomatidae!!! I'm referring to those that are black with nice patterns on thwe wings and with swollen abdomen. Platystoma sp. The others are probably Lucilia sp. IT is need a more detailed view of those green flies. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 25-07-2009 19:07 |

It's far from certain, but I'm thinking Platystoma lugubre
