This week I found some tachinidae in these bottle and now I am wondering what kind of tachinidae these are?
Some flies are about 7mm in size and other are bigger > 11mm
Here are some pictures:

It's screaming "SARCOPHAGIDAE!!!" to me ;)
Elongate R5 cell and 3 strong longitudinal thoracic vitae all point to that ;)

Thank you Chris, for this quick answer.
I didn't watch well and I didn't watch flies for a long time.
I found it typically to find this flies next to the moths and expected Tachinidae.
Are there any typical Sarcophagidae which use these place and moths?
greeting Robert
