Sarcophagid flesh fly I saw this beautiful fly a couple of days ago...a Sarcophagid Flesh fly with its silver armour shining in the sun. Love those dynamic red eyes as well. As family Sarcophagidae contains many species - all that look very similar to each other - I&#039;m not confident to pin a species on this sighting. <br /> 10 mm length Australia,Diptera,Flesh fly,Fly,Geotagged,Macro,Sarcophagidae,fauna,insect,invertebrate,spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
