Hmm, definitely should have took a specimen. 28/05/25, Brankley Pastures, #Staffs. Blaesoxipha erythrura (which shouldn't occur here), Ravinia pernix, or another #Sarcophagidae? Thanks @suillia.bsky.social @lancefly.bsky.social @andymus.bsky.social @dipteristsforum.bsky.social

Not very good pic of a flesh fly in the grip of a flower crab spider. The spider has changed her colour to match the yellow of the dandelion they’re both on. Just like their namesake, crab spiders can run sideways using their super strong forelegs. Flower crab spiders also have the extra special ability of being able to change colour to blend in with the flower head they’re using as ‘bait’. Flesh flies are incredibly beneficial insects. Adults are excellent accidental pollinators because they’re not fussy when searching out nectar to feed on. They might not be able to carry as much pollen as bees, but they make up for their lack of hairs by their sheer number. Let’s hope it never becomes the case, but one day we might be relying on flies to pollinate our crops. Flesh flies are also detritivores, both adults & larvae are attracted to & consume rotting organic matter, helping return nutrients the soil. I’m writing this on my phone without my specs - apologies if it reads like nonsense

Flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) have relatively few records/recorders in Ireland but still nice to get a new county record for Carlow with this Sarcophaga vagans in an old graveyard outside Tullow, Co. Carlow #Sarcophagidae

Great to see my first Sarcophaga vicina of the year today in Kildavin, Co. Carlow. Plenty of flesh fly activity today in the sunshine @uksarcs #Sarcophagidae

Brachicoma devia, a new sarcophagid for me from Kildavin, Co. Carlow on 21-viii-2021. Larvae develop in nests of bumblebees, attacking and eating the prepupal stage of the hosts #Sarcophagidae
