Hello,

a 7-8 mm Scathophaga in our garden (northwest Germany) yesterday. Is it possible to tell the species?

I think, this one will stay Scathophaga sp.?

Looks from this perspective quite similar to Scathophaga stercoraria female. But surely you had this in mind.

Greetings,
Frank.

The femora look too pale for S. stercoraria.

Hello,

this was not Scathophaga stercoraria (antennae not dark, different colouration), which I know well. Perhaps S. furcata?

Not stercoraria, I would also think furcata.
