Hello, I photographed this fly near San Giovanni (BZ), Italy, 1300m a.s.l. on July 13th 2021. I think it is a Tachinidae, and it looks like a member of the genus Lydina to me. Is the genus correct? And is it possible to identify its species? Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [296.81Kb] Edited by ESant on 18-09-2021 00:38 |

Hello Emanuele, you are right and it should be L. aenea.
Greetings, Eric |

Lydina is much less spiky and has hardly an yellow on the wing base. C heck the gallery. this is Zophomyia temula, common in June and apparently in the mountains also in July. Theo |

Thank you for the correction! The appearance of the bristles on the body does indeed match better with Z. temula rather than Lydina. |
