Dear all,

from potted plants, fertilized with granulated organic fertilizer, we got a sample of larvae, which quickly pupated. Yesterday the first adults appeared.
It looks like a lesser housefly - Fannia canicularis - to us. Is this ID OK or not?

Thanks a lot!
Thomas

This is a Muscidae : Fannidae never have the vein M curved.
This is a male of Muscina stabulans.
