Hello,

this Calliphoridae is from the north of Tenerife. I took the photo of the ~8mm fly in april. Is this a Lucilia speciemen again?

Thanks,
Michael

No, it's a Chrysomya, probably C. megacephala, but wait for the experts.

Hello Stephane,

thank you for your answer. I will safe the picture as Chrysomya cf. megacephala, and hope, that someone can confirm or correct it.
