Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Caught Calliphora
#1
Hello!
I'm not sure, whether this is a "normal"
Calliphora vicina. Its face seems rather dark to me, but it's clearly not
C. vomitoria. Perhaps another species? Found last night at house (Ostwestfalen/Germany), caught by a sector spider.

Correct, it's vicina, by far the most common species

Thanks, Theo! I had hoped it could be one of the rarer winter species. Still looking more closely at each
Calliphora these days - hoping I will some day find one of them...

Really this is the time for adult Zygiella
We have lots of Zygiella x-notata.

We, too. Can't remember such numbers of them (although they are always numerous around the house). Even overexceed the number of
Nuctenea umbratica now.

Nuctenea umbratica - very common in Pinus spp.
It seems a little (ok?) like one of my favorite spider families:
Trochanteriidae 
(not palearctic though
)
