I found this beautiful species, probably belonging to the Tachinidae at Ballooerveld (Drenthe) yesterday (august 11) on umbells along a sandy path running through heathland. It's head looks remarkable like a syrphid..is this a species related the group who parasitize orthoptera or hemiptera? very curious..thanx in advance!

Are you sure it is Tachinidae and not Sarcophagidae Miltogramminae?

Paul: If he is sure, he is wrong ! It is a Miltogramminae indeed: Miltogramma punctatum. Kleptoparasite of Hymenoptera. Theo |
