Fly bred from a pupa found in bee hotel. Austria, april 2020. Looks like Sacrotachina, but that location...

Tachinidae. Reminds me of
Triarthria but I'm not sure. The species I know about is an earwig parasite and a bee hotel would be an odd place to find one.

Another difficult specimen. Thanks for verification.

No, John is spot on. Earwigs are very common in bee hotels. Not all rooms are occupied
:)
