Another set of photos granted by Jean Hort this time showing a beast of a Tachinidae fly.  One that will trigger (sql lol ) screams on Chris   |

so the result of the trigger is: lovely... interesting. And I wonder what kind of trigger would take you to the nirvana status. Maybe a Trigonospila looking at you very quietly... create trigger Trigonospilaf_ckyeah (to complete soon). |

Not sure Jorge fully understands British 'sangfroid'. For us 'lovely' is an ecstatic response |

very strange ecstatic response. should be more "ecdynamic" response.  It is a very fleumatic response then. |

Perhaps there should be a 'stiff upper lip' emoticon  |

Probably Jorge was expecting something more similar to my own reaction: OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!  OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! Jorge, where did you get that one?? Is it also Australian???? |

I 'went' to Australia in business and could spot this one with Jean.... (that reaction is typical for mediterranean people, which are so very different to the nordic fleumatic ones.) |

To add to the British sense of understatement: Duh!

Well, it is a really nice fly ... and I'd love to see one in the field like that ... but it isn't a big surprise that there are flies that look like that because I have seen about 3 drawers of Rutillia in the NHM with examples of species that make that one look positively dull in comparison!  Now ... if you want a real "WOW!" tachinid then you have to look at Bibiomima:  It's pretty rare (NHM have just 1 - this one - Panama canal region, dated 1913) and very very distinctive, with those coloured wing veins and black, disc-like calyptrae.

very nice one, Chris. The wings resemble, in some way, those of Euantha sp. (but darkier in this genus).
