Hello, I would like to ask the ID of this Tachinidae, photographed on Aug.18, 2020 in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Wing venation is unique...not sure whether this is a Tachinid. Any form of help is appreciated! Specimen not collected. wonwoong attached the following image:  [159.1Kb] Edited by wonwoong on 16-11-2020 16:41 |

This is very likely a Miltogramminae (Sarcophagidae). Theo |

Thanks for pointing out. I'll try not to confuse these species with Tachinidae. Wonwoong Edited by wonwoong on 17-11-2020 07:03 |

It can be very tricky. Some red flags, from a Tachinidae point of view * abdomen very elongated and conical * acrostichal bristles are lacking !! * strong appendix to bend in vein M * and of course in this case the silvery parafrontal. Theo |

Of course, these are rules of thumb. There are exceptions to all of them, but combined together.... a clear signal. Theo |
