It's Stomorhina lunata (Calliphoridae). The larvae are parasites in grasshoppers. Hans Huijbregts collects the Dutch records of this species, which is a southern migrant in the Netherlands. He might appreciate it if you get in touch with him. |

hi Menno, Thank you for quick responding. I've never thought of CAlliphoridae. I was first thinking of Syrphidae(>not) and Tabanidae (eyes) (>not) or even Ephydridae(mouth)(>not) of Muscidae (Lispe?)(>not). It's a bit of mixed composed fly.. A better look on the wing could have told me I think? I took a lot of pictures and will see if it got a typical Calliphoridae-vein.. I'll contact Hans Huijbregts about it. greeting Robert Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

And it's he she, it's a female Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [114.42Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 03-08-2010 21:01 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Does anybody has found lunata in recent years in The Netherlands ? It was not rare in the beginning of the 1990's, but then it seems to have disappeared from The Netherlands. Theo |
