This fly spent a cold April night on a lock of a hornet nestbox. Frankenhoehe Nature Park, conservation area Scheerweiher, 2024-04-18. Is it a male Tachina ursina? No, Tachina lurida! eklans attached the following image:  [89.71Kb] Edited by eklans on 14-06-2024 10:18 |

Actually, a male T. lurida. Shape of antenne is distinctive (and dust band on tergites are lacking) Theo |

Thank you very much Theo! I was not sure as this male is much hairier than the females I saw until now - like a bear.
Greetings, Eric |

Vocabulary and impression: male T. lurida = T. ursa (ursus).
