And an unusual arista.  I never saw this tachinid. The pose was very strange, it looked as if it was diving. Spots in almost apical wing. Volumose arista, acute abdomen. Two very fine vittae on scutum. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [186.26Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-07-2008 14:56 |

it would be very odd to be miltogramminae, even for a real tachinidae.  the arista is very unusual. I never saw an arista like that, and I've seen many. |

thanks. My second opinion would be really the miltogramminae as I told before the last picture. |

For Bee-specialists it can be very interesting to find out, to which species the several Miltogramminae are attracted  |

see this! "The presence of Phylloteles pictipennis (Loe?w) is most unusual , as this species is known as a sphecid wasp kleptoparasite . It is possible that P. pictipennis is capable of breeding in turtle nests although the presence of this species could also be due to sphecid wasp nests being present in the sand and that infestation is due to sand disturbance during excavation." in http://www.seatur...atHist.pdf |
