Hi Hedy

That sure looks like a Tachinid, an Admontia blanda male to be more specific. Host is larvae of Tipulidae, rather unusual in Tachinidae.

Hello Theo,

Thank you for your reaction and it seems that you know the names so easy..!
Jorge nice you that you joined us and said the right thing.
Theo, up till now I didn't see any Peteina, so I'm afraid that it won't happen this year. But if you still want to go looking, I'll join you!

Regards,
Hedy
