Unidentified Fly

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

This is probably a species of fruit-eating fly --

Big Butted Orange fly aka Pegomya

Nice image!

You did well, I didn't take the time to try to identify it -- that'll teach me a lesson! It's probably Pegomya solennis (the larvae feed on burdock and curly dock, mining the leaves); to be sure of the species the private parts have to be examined under a microscope. I didn't think anyone would even begin to know what it was.
