 Hi,

Going through my photos of Tachina fera, this one stood out as different, less black on abdoman, legs paler, face less yellow. Is this still Tachina fera or something else ? Photo taken in Surrey Southern England 30th July 2006.

Regards Chas

 It certainly should be T.fera because the only species that you could easily confuse it with in that part of the world would be Nowikia ferox and N.ferox has got black legs and antennae and the black and orange on the abdomen shows more contrast - the black is very black. Smile

 Thanks Chris,

Thats what I thought when I looked at the photo's by themselves but it just stands out when viewed alongside others of T.fera.

Thanks again for the confirmation.

 But I agree with Chas, it looks very odd.

 Hmm,

I think perhaps I will leave this one without a name in the ????? folder.

Thanks Theo and Chris,

 Well, given the locality, I'm quite confident it is an aberrant Tachina fera. What I meant to stress was: it is aberrant.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
