 Zambia Sarcophagidae
Date 25.i.11. Size 10mm
Miombo Woodland. Location: on tree trunk at 2m height

Despite the hairy eyes, I think this is Sarcophagidae. Maybe Hoplacephala?
I only saw this one individual. The silver on the scutellum showed very strongly at low rear angles.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
