Can anything more be said about this medium-sized (10mm) Lucilia? Location: southern England.

...and your choice is sericata, regalis, richardsi, magnicornis or silvarum. First antennal segment looks fairly short and frons looks fairly wide - odds are it is sericata, but these characters difficult to judge from photos.Sad

Yeah, thanks for the comments ... but sericata does seem to be the common one around here. Just about everything I have caught this year keys out to it but I have caught plenty of Lucilia and I'll do some more keying in the winter Smile
