Graphomya
maculata (Scopoli,
1763)  |
||
| If there was any doubt as to whether any of the UK's Diptera were not well marked, then this common Muscid fly should dispell any thoughts. A fairly large and distinctive species, Graphomya maculata is often found in damp areas and is generally common. This species exhibits sexual dimorphism, with the male (lower two photographs) being chestnut coloured on the abdomen. The female is shown in the upper two photographs. | ||
