This summer, 25-07-2009 on Pastinaca sativa. La Fontouret, Indre, France Could it be an Amobia species? Thanks for any comment. Tjitske Lubach Tjitske Lubach attached the following image:  [190.69Kb] Tjitske Lubach |

No, simply Sarcophagini (Sarcophaga s.l.) Why did you think so ? Theo |

I just thought it looked a bit like that (the head, the antennae). But (as you probably know) I know practically nothing about flies, so I suppose I shouldn't suggest something like this. Sorry!

No need to apology. I just wondered, since Sarcophaga is so common and Amobia so rare.... Theo |

Hello Theo, Well, you're right. But it's not my habit to 'see' only the rare species. Normally I'm quite careful with this. But this time: I don't know. I just didn't see it right. And I saw a few pictures from Amobia that looked a bit like this one. Thanks for your patience with nitwits like me! Tjitske Lubach |
