Hello, many Kirbya moerens here the last few days, but two Tachinidae from today I only noticed at home at the PC on pictures of other insects. So no good pictures... This one visited sloe blossoms next to a Bombylius major (northwest Germany).

Many Kirbya ?? We still have only one ! In any case, this Tachinidae is a Siphona in the maculata-complex, impossible to say which one. Theo |

Hello Theo, Zeegers wrote: Many Kirbya ?? We still have only one ! I don't mean several Kirbya species, but several individuals in the last weeks/days  . But I still wait for better photos... (see below). In former years I rarely found more than one or two Kirbya moerens a season, in some years not one at all.In any case, this Tachinidae is a Siphona in the maculata-complex, impossible to say which one. Thanks! I thought of Siphona, but I never saw one this early in spring. Earliest find until now was April-25. Mostly they occur in early May.
