I found a few of my old (forgotten) photos on a CD. these must be 10 years old.

1. Calliphora vomitoria

2. Lucilia sericata / Phaenicia sericata

3. Sarcophaga sp

4. Eupeodes luniger

Lucilia sericata / Phaenicia sericata

They cleaned up quite nicely

Beautiful flies (how often do you hear those two words in the same sentence? lol). Surprised they let you get close enough.

I agree. As annoying as they are, still a very interesting type of insect.
I especially like the shiney bottleflies, however the mimic hoverflies are my favorite
