the antennae suggest a tachinid but it doesn't fit anything I've seen. What can be said of these images? there are bristles going some way up the facial ridge, I can't quite see if the mouth is projecting though. Taken in north london this week thanks, Jeremy jeremyr attached the following image:  [179.29Kb] Edited by jeremyr on 07-08-2014 10:48 |

Hi Jeremy Apperently, you have never seen Compsilura concinnata ? Note the lacking ocellar bristles. Theo |

Thanks Theo and Valerio, this was at least twice the size of my Compsilura specimen, so although I felt strongly there was something obvious or familar about it that I was missing, I don't think I'd have thought of that. The facial features match nicely though Edited by jeremyr on 28-07-2014 22:46 |

Compsilura is a gregarious parasitoid, and this can easily lead to dwarfism. Theo |
