Hi,

Sorry for the low quality of the pictures but with the few points we can notice as r4+5 with petiole, colour of the thorax and these huge antennas, can we go further than the family ?

Could it be one species of Periscepsia, maybe ?

Are we sure this is not a Miltogramminae ?

Thanks for your answer Theo, you're damn right ! Tachinid was my first thought but I didn't know there where Miltogramminae with such as big antennas !

I checked and was attracted by Metopia campestris but after checking all Miltogramminae on LMDI I couldn't find any of them with R4+5 petiolate, they all seems to have R5 cell more or less open...

Do you have something in your mind ?

Thanks.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
