 Hi,

I have photographed this fly in Asturias, Spain (August). Length about 9-10mm.
Is it a Lucilia sp? if so which species could it be?
Thanks for help,
FRV

 In North America the single postsutural acrostichal would exclude Lucilia.

 Hi FRV, could be Neomyia cf. cornicina (Muscidae) - frons seems to be green, too.

Cheers Eric

 Thank you very much John and Eric!
Greenbottle flies are so difficult to distinguish!

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.
