Hello everyone, this Tachinidae I found in Yerseke, the Netherlands, feeding on Heracleum sphondylium. I took these two pictures. Someone can give me an ID? Thanks.

It is a Lydella, but it looks like L. stabulans to me. It should be a male, since the proclinate orbital brisltes seem absent. The hairs on tergites are erect, thus indicating stabulans rather than grisescens. Theo |

Thanks Theo I wondered becuase of the feet size, shouldn't they be bigger for stabulans and smaller for grisescens? Dr Elisabeth A. Harris @FloraConsUK |

If it is definitely a male then I would expect the fore tarsal claws to be longer in stabulans ... unless these have been broken? I have been catching L.grisescens here recently.
