The fly has already lost some hait of the scutum, I think, so it's young, but has hatched some time ago. The hosts are Lepidoptera - I know of two reliable hosts: from Norway a Noctua pronuba (Falck, M. 2009. The Norwegian species of Villa) and from The Netherlands an Agriotis exclamationis (Smit et al 2021 ‒ duistere villa nieuw in Nederland)
