Reddish Brown blowfly - Calliphora (Neocalliphora) ochracea

Family Calliphoridae

This page contains pictures and information about Reddish Brown Blowflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Male, body length 8mm

 

The Reddish Brown Blowfly has quite dense erect yellow hairs on eyes. The abdomen and scutellum are wholly reddish yellow-brown in colour without tessellation. The Thorax is yellowish dusted blue to brown. 

 

 

From the reference information, this is a somewhat rare species. We found it once in Anstead Forest on Aug 2012.
