Hi,

I'm waiting for my new book to key out the diptera-families (Pjotr Oosterbroek), but I have just got my hands on a wonderfull key for Tachinidae;

So, is this a Tachinidae? If it is a Tachinidae, don't tell me which one, so I can key this one out.:p



Many thanks, Jonas

It's a Tachinid indeed.


Can't say much more from this pic (the wing venation suggests Exoristini)

Thank you for your answer;

This afternoon I checked the fly, and after some trial-error, I got to Exorista larvarum.
Could this be correct? And should I post it to the gallery?


More tachinidae!B):p

Bye Jonas

Looks a bit too small to be E.larvarum - and there are too many alternatives that we can't eliminate :)

---

I'll check it again tonight :)
size was about 4 - 5 - 6 mm.

Much too small.

Looks more like Bessa, but this is really speculation.

Hi,

I'll first do some easier Tachinids (Ectophasia for example). Then I will come back to this one. I don't really find it... I kind of underestimated the Tachinidae:|

But I wrote it down to reply it here when I find out which one it is.

To be continued... ;)

bye, Jonas

Photos were taken the day after I caught the one above, at the same place. It looks like the same species...

So date was 30 august 2008, in my garden, Ostend (Belgium)

Bye Jonas (very curious :))

This is a muscid, male Potamia littoralis.
