Calliphoridae > Rhiniinae > Stomrohina lunata.

they are very common in Asteraceae flowers, and Mentha spp. for example. Smile

Ahh, so that's what Stomorina lunata looks like. There were even a few records for the UK in recent years. This one must go in the gallery!

Hello,

There are already several ones in the gallery.
But Paul could throw one of mines away to make room for this one.
The picture is really wonderful.
