Hi,
This small Tachinid was feeding today on a wild carrot inflorescence. It would like to get a name!
Thanks, Sundew

Any chance for a species name, dear Theo?

Was it very small ? (6-7 mm.)
Looks like pusilla.

Yep, compared to the tiny carrot flowers it certainly measured less than a cm.
I have some more pics of rather small Cylindromyias, more recent ones from a different place, maybe it is the same species. (I'll post another thread this evening.) Sometimes they showed white rings on the abdomen, sometimes not - is this just a matter of exposure to light? However, we can discuss that in the next Cylindromyia thread.
Many thanks, Sundew

NO, the colouration and lack of dusting are typical for this species (that is, if you exclude 14 mm. ones like bicolor etc.).

It is not pusilla. Or to be exact, I don't think so Smile All pusilla specimens I've seen have essentially unicolorous wings with no yelllow at the wing base.

I agree that the colouration of the wings is extreme, however, some females pusilla in my collection are quite similar to this one.
(Maybe my collection is bigger )?
