Now that the floodgates are open, here comes another female Antho .........................  Fore femur infuscated and 2+2 katepisternals.... But not visible if arista is long haired and acrostichals also not visible..... Photo was taken on 6 dec. and some Hylemya species could be overwintering in stables.. Hylemya (nigrimana)........for now Joke Edited by javanerkelens on 11-12-2009 17:12 |

Thanks Joke  These were taken about 45 minutes earlier in the same place, but I don't know if it's the same species. We have no stables, but there's a convenient public toilet nearby, and the sun was shining! Stephen R attached the following image:  [74.18Kb] |

Pffff....arista long haired! Also calypter about same lenght+acrostichals close together (without little hairs between them) If scutellum also is bare in middle....than i am almost sure it is Hylemya cf.nigrimana (very simular is H.vagans and i don't know for sure if H.vagans female could have also fore femur infuscated, but i thought not..) Hylemya species can be attractive to cow / hors dung and also human feces  .....so public toilet could fit.Joke

And they have kindly put some manure on the flower beds too - it's a paradise here in Clitheroe Send us your dispossessed and your anthomyiids... Many thanks Joke for the benefits of your hours of study. I'm sure you realise it doesn't end here |
