Perhaps Lucilia sericata? It most seems to present the features of Sericata, but I'd prefer your opinion on the matter, as some of the disquinishing features between Lucilia species is from the shape of the abdomen and color, which can seems hard to distuinquish with this photo.
Thank you, Beaker!
I only had a 55mm lens on, which forced me to sneak very slowly up to around 2 feet near him, I believe.
Thanks Jemma!
Impressive!
Fascinating to see it in action.
Thanks for the kind comments!
Bherath, this was found on a short leafy plant, with almost 'cupped' leaves. That's very fascinating though, I wish I'd find such an arachnid! This guy was a beautiful find for me, since I haven't seen such a thing before.
Ava-- I've just added it! Thanks for the suggestion.
I do apologize for earlier, the app on my phone posted my comment twice!
Thank you Atul!
Very welcome! I love these guys, couldn't help but share!
