I'm not sure Stephen, I did consider Melinda but the face on that generally has a cleaner look and the palps are a brighter orange-brown colour. I have pics of a probable Melinda viridicyanea from last year.. also some of a female which looks like Protocalliphora azurea and a male which also looks like Protocalliphora azurea but I didn't get the face of the male. There's no pics of a male Protocalliphora azurea in the gallery to compare, but here's some pics of Melinda viridicyanea male from last year.. blowave attached the following image:  [103.7Kb] Edited by blowave on 10-08-2011 13:13 http://cubits.org... |
