Calliphora vicina (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) | ||
A common fly, Calliphora vicina is generally commoner than Calliphora vomitoria, although most guide books suggest otherwise. They are common in any habitat and are probably the large fly most often seen during the late Autumn and early Winter months, sunning themselves on tree trunks and walls etc. The one in the lower four photographeds, was found on Budby South Forest in late November 2010, when the temperature was only just above freezing. | ||
