Hello!

I think this beautiful fly is a male Scatophaga stercoraria, am I right? It is a little bit greener than usual (as normally the females only). They were numerous on foul apples on a meadow with trees yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany).

If it has black antennae then I think it has to be S stercoraria doesn't it? I've certainly seen them this beautiful green colour before, anyway.

I know, that the black colour of the antennae is a difference between S. stercoraria and the other frequent Scatophaga species I know (suilla, lutaria). But is it the only Scatophaga with dark antennae?
Best regards,
Jürgen

I think S stercoraria is the only Scatophaga with dark antennae, but I am not absolutely certain. It might just be the only one in the UK, not for all Europe.

Thanks! According to the "Entomofauna germanica" we have these Scatophaga species here in Germany:
- cineraria
- furcata
- inquinata
- litorea
- lutaria
- obscura
- pictipennis
- scybalaria
- stercoraria
- suilla
Best regards,
Jürgen
