I shall be very happy if enibody can help me to identify this little folk. I try to do it myself but..

In the shot is unexpected butterfly :-) larva cocoon and adult. I only know the fly is from Tachinidae family

Welcome to the forum geza - nice first post because I am a big fan of Tachinidae ;)

Can you give a bit more information - like what was the host? Was it Sphingidae? Also how big was the tachinid? Also, do you have any more close-up photos just of the tachinid?

Thanks, Chris R.

The host is Pine Hawk-moth ,Sphinx pinastri.
I have the shot of caterpillar http://www.photog...-moth.html
I have a lot of shots of this fly. What angle or part of fly you are interested?
The size is around House fly.
