September 19th, 2014 I collected some larvae of Nematus salicis with an egg of parasites on them. I thougt this were eggs of an ichneumonidea Polyblastus cothurnatus.

(For extensive details of the proces in Dutch see this link: http://forum.waar...msg1697378 or a short version of the Tachinidae here: http://forum.waar...sg1708701)

I am curious to know which Tachinidae this can be. Hope anyone can help me with these.

Best regards,
John Bouwmans
