Hello!

This fly visited a Daucus carota plant today (Ostwestfalen/Germany). At first I thought of some sort of Conopid, but on a closer look it turned out to be more likely a Tachinid. Length about 10 mm. In the gallery I found Lophosia fasciata with such antennae. Is this the one or are there more species? Thanks!

Yes, those triangular A3 segments are very distinctive - looks like Lophosia fasciata to me Smile

I think that it is unmistakably Lophosia fasciata. Grin

A male. The antenna is less extreme in the female.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
