Hello, this tachinid came from a cocoon that was spun by a larva that came out of a Diprion pini cocoon. I collected the Diprion pini cocoon mid of June in a forest south of Heidelberg where in the direct neigborhood pines were occupied by Dipriion pini larvae. The tachinid fly appeard on July 3rd, the fly cocoon was spun about 10 days before. With this biology information I think it must be the genus Drino. With the coloring I guess it is Drino gilva. Could you please confirm?
