Hello the pictures were taken in august and september at Lake Thun, Switzerland. Are these flies all Tachina fera? (And if possible: how can I see it?). Thank you! Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [95.59Kb] |

No the ones with black legs, esp. black tibiae, and a strongly contracted black vitta on the abdomen are Nowickia, most likely N. ferox. Tachina has the tibiae and part of tarsi reddish (with T. grossa the obvious exception). Theo Zeegers |
