Bernard Field Station, Claremont, Los Angeles County, California, USA
November 22, 2014
In a fire road in sage scrub at the Claremont Colleges' Bernard Field Station. I thought it was a blow fly, but it's smaller with a more tapered body than the ones I usually see. Any information will be greatly appreciated!
