Today I photographed this tachinid fly at Leerdam, Netherlands, in a small wooded area along the river Linge. It was quite large, appr. 10-12 mm. It is one of the dull, greyish ones. But perhaps someone is able to name it anyway. Thanks in advance for any help! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [137.18Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Blepharipa pratensis. Definitely uncommon. Specialized in Lymantria dispar (caterpillar on oak). |

You see the peculiar hairs at the side of the third tergite (which is actually the fourth tergite )? The so-called 'Sturmia'spot', which gave it away quite easily. THeo |
