My name is Geza Farkas and I’m from Serbia. All photos was taken in Serbia. I’m amateur, but I like insects expecially flies as you can see in my site.

http://www.photog...e_fly.html

I shall be very happy if enibody can help me to identify this little folk. I try to do it myself but..

In the shot is unexpected butterfly :-) larva cocoon and adult. I only know the fly is from Tachinidae family

Welcome to the forum geza - nice first post because I am a big fan of Tachinidae Wink

Can you give a bit more information - like what was the host? Was it Sphingidae? Also how big was the tachinid? Also, do you have any more close-up photos just of the tachinid?

Thanks, Chris R.

I have a lot of shots of this fly. What angle or part of fly you are interested?
The size is around House fly.
