Hello! Many metallic green and blue Muscids and Calliphorids in all sizes flying at the moment  . This one was bluer and slightly bigger than the many Lucilias. At a blackberry hedge (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Any idea? Thanks in advance!

Still, a Lucilia. Maybe a less common species, like silvatica or bufonivera ? Theo Zeegers |

HI Juergen, Please note the 'maybe', I'm really not an expert in Calliphoridae. Theo |

Hello, Theo! Zeegers wrote: Please note the 'maybe', I'm really not an expert in Calliphoridae. Yes, I noted it and will save the pics with 'sp.' or 'cf.'. But it helped me already to know that they are Lucilia and not some other Calliphorid.

It can't be silvarum, because the photo shows only 2 post sutural acrostical bristles - which is not to say that it is bufonivora, but it could be  As for the species Theo mentioned, they must be extremely rare - they don't get listed on Fauna Europaea  (Just teasing Theo - what is rare is me getting the chance to add to the discussion after you have entered it  )

At least there are many toads (Bufo bufo) here this year - possible hosts for bufonivora. But I have never seen a parasited one...

Touche silvatica, silvarum, silvicola, and let's not forget sylvarum, sylvatica.... I'm getting old and my memory is not flawless, at least not for groups I'm not working on. And agreed, I was too lazy to look it up, Susan. Fortunately you're not that lazy Theo |
