place:Tucson, AZ (USA) it looks like a member of the tachinidae family to me... Which Genus/species could it be? Seems that it is Adejeania vexatrix - Thanks a lot for your help Gerrit Oehm attached the following image:  [102.12Kb] Edited by Gerrit Oehm on 23-12-2011 16:45 |

Yes, certainly Tachinidae - looks like Adejeania vexatrix but do you have any other shots - particularly of the head?

I am sorry, but i have no good picture of his head... I did the picture during a high school year a few years ago... and it was still in a folder "not determined" Thanks for your help! Gerrit Oehm attached the following image:  [123.06Kb] |

Adejeania vexatrix always have huge, forward-pointing palps but I am pretty sure these are A.vexatrix just from the overall appearance.
