Sarcophagidae from Riyadh

Some years ago I visited Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I collected only very few flies. In my hotelroom I noticed some Sarcophagids. Years later I found out that the specimens most likely belong to Sarcophaga ruficornis, a species wellknown in Asia with some findings in Africa as well.

I collected this fly on old dog droppings in a forest in Szent Imre, Budapest on 5th November 1995.
