Hello Erikas,

Thank you for your reaction! Amazing that someone so far away from Holland, knows which fly I found here!!! :)
Because I think you are right, it looks like it a Cyzenis albicans!

Regards,
Hedy

Yes, Erikas is quite right !

Cyzenis is common in caterpillars on Quercus, and they have very nice Quercus in Lithuania as well, so that explains his expertise

Theo, so at least you are obliged to know what I find.. :D

The more Tachinidae I see, the more they look-a-like and I'm happy to this forum and hope to learn it myself too.

Hedy
