To have it still on the paper I used the technic of the freezer, but may be I've left it there too much.

Without seeing the genitalia up-close it would be impossible to get to species - so I think Sarcophaga is as far as we can go.

Thanks Chris, in these days I'm out for work so I can't post other photos, by the way... the genitalia are... 5th tergite? Outside, Inside. I'm quite ignorant.

They're basically the parts at the end of / under the abdomen. You should see a shiny, round base and then held inside will be the parts we need to see and which need folding out carefully with a find pin and forceps :)

Hello Chris, sorry for the late reply, no time to carry on my interest in entomology.

Anyway thanks for the tip!
