Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinidae - found in a container used for raising insect larvae

Hello everyone,

thanks to the sunny weather, several insects decided to show their faces today. This was also the case for this Tachinid, which I found in a container in which I've raised several sawfly-larvae and caterpillars (macro-moths mainly). I have not yet searched for possible host remains, but I still have the living fly.
Does anyone recognise the species? Or if not yet, what do I have to take photos of for an identification?
All larvae raised in this container were found in Barneveld (the Netherlands).
