Is this a male Lucilia sp. (possibly L. caesar)? Seen in a commercial strawberry field in Kent, UK on 11/05/2021. Any help with ID would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Dylan

Hi Dylan, from that angle it's not clearly to see but I think the basicosta is dark and the eyes are very narrowly separated. If so: L. caesar.

Greetings, Eric
