Dear Members,

Does anyone knows what the name is of this parasite fly?

I saw this fly in my garden a few days ago. (Delft)

An answer is very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Shar

In relation to my previous message. Is it possible that the parasite fly laid his eggs on this spanner? (also found in my garden)

rgrds,
Shar

Hi Shar

This is clearly a Mintho rufiventris. The pattern on the thorax is characteristic, as is the wing venation (long appendix to bend in vein M).

The host are to be found in the microlepidoptera, especially Pyralidae.
So your geometrid caterpillar is an unlikely host.

Dear Chris,

I am at home at the moment... ;-) Just, joking, I live in Delft (NL) and the arialcode is: 2611 WN. I am not familiar with other codes?
I saw the fly in my garden.

And yes you may use the picture(s) for your website. Maybe you are also interested in the picture of my bufo bufo covered with eggs/larfs (subject: two different flies mating). It is very likely a case of Lucilia bufonivora. I saw this toad in the forest of Emmen.

Kind regards,
Shar

This will not be Lucilia bufonivora. That species causes myiasis in life toads (and certainly not with so many specimens). This was a dead toad, so maybe another species of Lucilia or another calliphorid that can be found on cadavers.

And your Mintho is placed in the gallery. Smile

Thanks for the nice words Paul Wink

Shar ... thanks for the location information and permission to show your great photo ... but I try to avoid dead frogs usually because parasite flies haven't evolved to kill them ... yet Grin

Dear all,

The toad was not dead. He was still moving arround.

I will see if I can find the other picture I once saw on this subject.

Dear Paul,

You are probably right, I am no expert. I only know the toad was still alive and the pictures on www.batraciens-reptiles.com/lucilia_bufonivora.htm made me wonder if the toad I saw was also infected by lucila bufonivora.
Someone of the UVA looked at the picture and he considered it aswell. He learned at a congres that the fly lays his eggs on the sides of a toad and that the maggots crawl to the nostrils of the toad.
But he wasn't certain.

regards,
Shar

The number of eggs was far too big for bufinovora, I think.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
