Hello, I've been finding this fly on peppermint a lot lately. Size is perhaps 6-7 mm. Its relatively thick head in relation to its body size is striking. Which species is it ? Germany, Saarland, Bexbach, 31.07.2020, Absolute Altitude 250 m Greetings Volker

So, please take care ! I see three different Sarcophagidae species ! Second one Miltogramma punctatum, third one possibly M. germari and first no idea. Theo |

Hello Theo The animals fly so fast. I thought I always photographed the same animal.  The first perhaps Miltogramma punctata ?Greetings Volker Edited by Volker on 31-07-2020 18:18 |

No. Have a close look at the black spots on last tergite. They are all “very different” (that is, to Sarcophagidae standards) Theo |

I would say that the first and second photo are both M. punctata
