(sigh) ... such a pity ... a potential ID and good host information ... I never understand why some lepidopterists throw away tachinids :(

they throw away the tachinids as a revenge. :D They feel powerful when they drop the tachinids. :P

I´m glad not!
I prefer being possitive, I´m pretty sure long ago we wouldn´t have the pics, small steps are being done at least. Thanks for looking the pics.
