Today I found this nice tachinidae.

Dexiosoma caninum? :)

Thank you Chris!
I think it's quite special for the Amsterdam region.
It is parasiting on Melolontha sp. ?
greeting Robert

Well get Theo to confirm it but I think it is ... and yes, I believe that is their host or similar small chafers :)

if you look closely to the bendof vein M, there is a long stalk, so Dexiosoma it is (moreover, the arista is short).
