Hello, I photographed this fly in my garden today. The size was approximately 6-7 mm? Does it belong to the genus Tachinidae or to another genus? Is it possible to identify the species?

Hello Volker, I think it's a male Bellardia - quite likely a B. viarum.

Hi Eric, Thanks for your answer. Then it is not a tachinid but a blowfly. Should I write spec. or can you distinguish B. viarum from B. obsoleta, B. pandia, B. vespillo and B. vulgaris on the basis of my pictures? Greetings, Volker Edited by Volker on 24-09-2023 13:14 |
