  Thanks Ferdy. Poss rain, poss dirt! I am working from a new laptop so not always seeing what I would on my desktop. Not even sure if the colours are coming out right so would appreciate any criticism in that respect so I can get it right. Posted 10 years ago

The Scathophaga stercorari

"Scathophaga stercoraria", commonly known as the yellow dung fly or the golden dung fly, is one of the most familiar and abundant flies in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. As its common name suggests, it is often found on the feces of large mammals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, deer, and wild boar, where it goes to breed.
