Have a nice Day. One Question please. Can this Tachinidae species be identified more precisely? I would be very grateful for an answer.
Data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, dry flowering area, 28.6.2025, size approx. 6mm
Kind regards Karl

Hello the thank you for the Answer of Therobia leonidei. So the species is probably more likely to be medicinal in the Mediterranean region? Certainly another immigrant due to climate change.
Like Stomorhina lunata, where I already have a small population on one of my plots.
Kind regards Karl.

Hello Theo thank you for the Answer. It's interesting that it has already spread so widely. It is clear that it is spreading rapidly in my case.
Kind regards Karl.
