Hi,
I had just identified yesterday's photos of a black slender tachinid (Mintho-like shape) to be Lophosia fasciata, new to me, when I see Roger's thread on the same species. Apparently they are now flying all over Europe! My photos are from a damp forest path in the foothills of the Black Forest (south-west Germany). I think confusion is impossible, the dark banded wings and the broad 3rd antennal segments are striking.
Here are some pictures.
Wishing you all many more exciting finds,
Sundew

Hello Sundew!

I read your post yesterday, and today I saw my first Lophosia fasciata since 5 years. Grin
On Heracleum sphondylium on a meadow near forest (northwest Germany). It was only my fourth find ever.

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
