Found one of StephenR's Bees from summer....size (can't remember ).
Found in the garden...any chance of ID'ing it?

Gimme a break you b@*!^<$. Are you sure it isn't Chrysomya albiceps???

---

I don't think so Stephen. It is sort of greenish in colour with a white face. And being a member of the Calliphoridae mob it only has 1 pair of wings, whereas I'm almost certain this little thing has 2 pairs. So close, but no cigar.

I do like the old EDIT; DELETE THIS POST BUTTON*.
You really should make more use of the QUOTE BUTTON.

(I readily admit to doing so on the odd occasion, I cannot tell a lie)*
What does; b@*!^<$ mean? Can't get "Translate with Live Search" to make any sense of it. Tried all available combinations...Zilch.

Ask around in the pub. Alternatively there are probably eminent dipterologists of several nationalities who would be happy to tell you.

I would but I think I'm barred from the pub .
Yes, but (assuming it's something detrimental to my character) the ones who would wish to repeat it, speak (to date), Russian, Dutch, French or Walloon or something, and I can't speak any of those languages.
