Hi! A 6-7 mm Tachinidae from mint flowers last week near a lime quarry (northwest Germany). Can it be IDed?

Topcel is open, so it can't be Estheria (if from Central Europe). Must be Dinera, most likely ferina, in which case you must have underestimated its size ? Theo |

Hi, Theo! Thanks for your reply! Zeegers wrote: Must be Dinera, most likely ferina, in which case you must have underestimated its size ? On two pictures in the link I posted above you can see the size in comparison with an Eristalis female. Can't be much over 7 mm...

Hi, Chris and Andre! ChrisR wrote: Ahh, wow - it was much smaller than I guessed Yes, it was not that large. @Andre: I did not write tenax, because I also saw some Eristalis that day at the same place, which looked like tenax, but had rather light fore tarsi: http://insektenfo...adid=28857. So I was not 100% sure about the species.
