Not the best of pictures but it looks right to me, I have looked at other species of Scathophaga and they are significantly different. http://www.insektengalerie.de/insekten-index/index_zweiflueg... http://www.uksafari.com/dungfly.htm It was in the shade, but definitely yellow, this site says the female is duller so it could be a female, it's difficult to tell. There are horses nearby so I guess they will be attracted to the dung. http://www-biol.paisley.ac.uk/bioref/Animalia_inverts/Scatho... |
