Hello,
A Tachinidae found in North of France, Cassel, the 29 july 2015, on a shaded part of a Tree trunk, in a pretty humid area, in a mainly decidious forest
Maybe an
Admontia seria ?
Greetings,
Thomas

seems an excellent suggestion.
It is likely to be a male, given the antennal length. And than the claws are really short.
Of course, 1 ad on tibia 1 and clearly not blanda ....

By the way, seria is a specialist of TIpulidae living in rotholes in trees.
So also the habitat makes total sense.

Thanks you very much, Theo ! :)
There is indeed a lot of Tipuloidea in this area ! I think I have already seen
Dictenidia bimaculata but I'm not totally sure if that was in the same area (?), but I think there might be lots of Tipulidae living on dead wood and in rotholes in this area !

There is also Tipula subg. Dendrotipula in wood, don't forget that one !
No all Ctenophorinae.

Do any female European
Admontia have normal fore tarsi (not widened)?
