thanks a lot, John. I think fly 1+4+5 could be calliphora vicina , but the question on Larvae ID still remains...the flies were just meant to be a hint for possible larvae ID thanks for looking into this...chris |

The larva are most likely Calliphoridae, no Fannidae can be seen on the photo. I cannot exclude Muscidae, but the anal segment in caudal view reminds me of Calliphoridae. |

I found a "Key for identification of European and Mediterranean blowflies (Diptera, Calliphoridae) of forensic importance Third instars " ( http://www.eafe.org/Members_area_files/Szpila_key_blowflies_larva.pdf ) which I try to use for ID. But I ,being a notorious amateur, came not further than Id-ing the larvae as a 3 instar. (Calliphoridae?) as atylotus already mentioned...thanks for that,atylotus But I'm afraid that the close-ups you will find beneath are not enough helpful for further Identification.. thanks anyway |
