You are incredibly lucky this one can be IDed from one picture.

Even more lucky, it is an amazing find:

Estheria cristata

Hi, Chris Raper may like to comment further, but I thought I would mention that E cristata is found regularly in the SE of the UK, though certainly not common.
Its interesting how the fauna of UK and NL differ despite their proximity. Another tachinid example is Nowickia ferox which is common here yet extinct in NL.

Hi steve

You are very well informed ! Of course, in the majority of cases, we (NL) have species you (UK) don't have, but that is because you (UK) are an island.

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
