Hello everybody, this is my first posting in this forum. The fly on the attached pictures was found dead inside a closed cardboard box containing plastic yogurts; these box was closed in a factory in Belgium and was opened in Madrid, Spain. A friend of mine, a Flemish entrepreneur, asked me (I am a biologist by education) whether the fly got inside the box in his Belgian factory and travelled all the way to Spain, or whether it is a Spanish fly that got in the box after it was opened in Spain. The fly's body is 11,9 mm long. They eyes were bright red, now they are reddish-brown. I have made about 10 photographs of it through my stereoscopic microscope. My questions to you specialists are: -- Can you determine up to species name? Is it Polietes lardarius? Muscina stabulans? -- Is the species, common in both countries? -- Is there any other way to answer my friend's question?

" I think it is Sarcophagidae?! " Well, I cannot classify flies, not even to families. I just looked a description of the Sarcophagidae and yes, this one looks like one of them, but then also to the Polietes lardarius that I mentioned. Shall I give my query up? |
