Hello! Found today at 2 ?C at forest (northwest Germany), length about 6-8 mm. I assume, it is a Tachinid (?).

If I well listened Theo, ocelar bristles are reclinate, so Campylochaeta praecox ?

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: If I well listened Theo, ocelar bristles are reclinate, so Campylochaeta praecox ? I had that species already earlier this month: http://www.dipter...d_id=11589 I must admit, the one today did not remind me very much of that fly (smaller, less shiny, not so strikingly large antennae).

Hello, Theo! Thanks to you both! Zeegers wrote: This is a female, Juergen, previously you had a male (according to your description). So females are smaller? Or was that just because of normal size variation between individuals?

Size is never of importance in parasitoids: it depends largely on the host. Theo |
