Sardina, 1st April 2011, on lichen covered rock, scrub vegetation, 500m alt

I think Kirbya moerens. Its not listed by Cerretti for Sardinia but probably to be expected.

Tricky one - never seen Kirbya but I'd be happy to key it for you :)

Always carry a spare tachinid ... a motto that has stood me well over the years ;)

I'll let you know how it runs ... it'll be an adventure for me too :D
