 Every year I have Aglais urticae caterpillars at the same place in my garden, and every year this fly hang around them. These flies are very intrested in the larvae, and the larvae doesn´t like them.
I suppose the fly parasiting on them.
Is it possible to say species?

 My first guess would be Pelatachina tibialis (or very similar species) - they are known Aglais utricae parasitoids. Nice photos Smile
