Lucilia sp?
Iolaire
Hi everybody,

This is Lucilia sp?

Any further ID possible?
waarneming.nl/fotonew/8/230498.jpg

Cheers!
Best regards,

Iolaire

Not Lucilia, but Neomyia (Muscidae).
Seems to be Neomyia cornicina female.
Stephane.

St?phane, how do you tell this is not a Lucilia but a muscid?
 
Iolaire
Yes please tell, Stephane!
If it is Neomyia, I've probably misidentified several more!

Cheers!
Best regards,

Iolaire

Hello,
Neomyia are very similar to Lucilia in appearance because of the angular bent on vein M, but Neomyia have got shiny metallic green frons, occiput and genae (this last not visible on this picture, of course). In female, the frons is very wide, with broad orbitale plates.
Hope that helps...

Greetings.
Stephane.
 
Iolaire
It helps!

Thanks very much!
Best regards,

Iolaire
