The tachinid was observed 22nd May 2024, Trelde Skov, Fredericia, Denmark. Could it be Tachina lurida? I don't think the species has been observed in Denmark before, but it is seen quite north in Gernamy. Unfortunately only one image. cheers Erland Erland attached the following image:  [196.3Kb] |

It is a female and it is off, lacking the dust bands. I think this is marklini. In which case the record is pretty far to the south... Theo |

Thank you very much Theo. Erland If it's not a dragonfly, it might be a fly |

So Nowickia has been incorporated into Tachina? If it's marklini it would be a rare(?) case of a species moving south. The current trend is of course the opposite. Walther |

Ah, tibia is yellow, I missed that. And I misjudged the width of vertex, it is actually narrower that it seems at first look. So it is the male of T. lurida, that explains the lot. Theo |
