Key to the Greenbottles (Lucilia) of Europe
A link to some content on : matthewvosper's journal
Currently there are coordinated efforts to search for Lucilia observations in Africa and Asia.
So far, only two confirmed blowflyesque species are known in Antarctica: One fossil and lab-reared [Lucilia sericata](https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-020-04543-y) for microbiology research. Likely invasive candidate L. sericata remains plausible but not confirmed.

This is exactly what I dared hope for when I created this project; in fact, I hoped I would be lucky enough to write exactly this soon: iNat's own key for Lucili that covers all resources for iNat greenbottle ID... Including even my own collection project :D
Thank you very much. I will be showing this to one or two greenbottle researchers shortly. :)

But equally so too are these comments a good resource for outreach and ID etc. So feel free to quickly comment advice obvious to us but not to a teenage girl in China who's never heard of iNaturalist.
e.g. "the forum is a great place to chat about anything and everything about iNat"
Is now briefly covered in the third comment here: the forum has proved itself vital in the creation of this key.
So, y'know, get stuck in all of you and most important of all on iNat: have fun!

Africa is full of long-forgotten diptera: here's a good Lucili candidate in the Central African Republic...

Good tips on finding suitable ID resources in Africa:
Personally, I plan to look at Indonesia soon...

This is cool and excellent to learn ID them!
