 Hi Eric,

Thank you for the reply. I seem to only find rotundatum at this time. I suspected it to be rotundatum but i need more experience with Tachinidae.

Thank you very much and Best wishes,
John

 I agree.

Nudifrons should be easy to find around coniferous forests around Berlin.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
