I believe this is Trigonospila sp.? Trapped on window. Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [94.08Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 26-01-2015 00:25 |

Probably Anthomyia. Didn't you have another recently? |

Yes John you are correct, Anthomyia silvestris is the same. I can't get the hang of this subscutellum thing. To me this has a huge subscutellum, so I didn't think any further than Tachinidae. Thanks for correcting me. |

I should have realised too, that there were no meral bristles. Oh dear, there are too many flies. |

About the subscutellum, it is below the thing you are looking at. In Tachinidae, it looks like a "swimming band " (not sure if that is proper English), so really convex. Hope that helps. Theo |

Hmm, this is getting really technical now. A "swimming band" is not something I am familiar with. However "really convex" I can relate to. So, yes, I think I understand. Thanks Theo. Cheers, Graeme |

Children wearing an inflatable tire-like structure around their waist while in the pool is not custom in Australia ? Theo |

Yes that is normal for Australia. However I don't think I'm going to look at one the same again. Pool tachinids.  |

Once, my Russian vocabulary ordered me to go looking for a car part on a horsefly. That was a clear signal to spend some money on a real vocabulary. In this case, nothing is lost in translation. Get a real Tachinid and give it a look. You'll see it works. Theo |
