TACHINIDAE, I'd say.

Hi Jorge, thanks for that link. probably is the same, will be great to have the name also for the pupa. i will change the title maybe Theo will be attracted. this is the typical form of that species pupa, or more or less general for Tachinidae? again thanks, cosmln |

I have the same doubt. Not sure, I only saw just a few Tachinidae pupae. I think without rearing the pupa it will be very hard (if not impossible) to know the right species. |

I've been rearing some tachinids from their hosts and the pupae I observed were different from the one you have. http://www.dipter...ad_id=9665 Edited by Rui Andrade on 10-01-2008 22:03 |
