Sardina, 1st April 2011, on lichen covered rock, scrub vegetation, 500m alt I think Kirbya moerens. Its not listed by Cerretti for Sardinia but probably to be expected. Steve sd attached the following image:  [120.92Kb] |

Always carry a spare tachinid ... a motto that has stood me well over the years  I'll let you know how it runs ... it'll be an adventure for me too
