 When I took the pictures, I thought this was a tachinid, but I have been advised that it is probably more likely to be a rhinophorid. Can someone help me closer?

 Hi, it's a Phania funesta (Tachinidae), parasitoid of Cydnidae.

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.
