Hello!

Among the many "normal" sized (12 mm) Calliphoras at the fruit bait in our garden (northwest Germany) there were also these two very small ones. The female measured only 6 mm, the male at most 5 mm. Nevertheless C. vicina? I know, they differ in size depending on larval life conditions. But this much??
