I think Piophilidae
While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

Hi kurt & Dmitry, Yes it is Piophilidae. Its even a a Parapiiphila and one of the very exciting species. Either dudai or pectininervis, but you'd need a collected male. Kind regards, Ectemnius |

Thanks to Dmitry and Ectemnius It seems that we have only pectiniventris and not dudai in Sweden. Kurt Holmqvist |

Well, that is no guarantee! If you'd once set a malaisetrap on the carcass of a deer and you'll be surprised to learn what you would find in Sweden. The current knowledge is far from complete. Just look at https://biotaxa.o...a.3925.2.5 A new species described just in 2015! |
