Hi, Here's a tachinid that I would hesitate to call a Tachina, though I am not aware of a better alternative. As so often, I need help from the tachinid experts... Locality is the Baltic Island of Usedom in last August. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [171.2Kb] Edited by Sundew on 14-02-2008 11:24 |

Peleteria sp. I think. |

I agree with Jorge - I can't see the facial bristles (the best way to split Peleteria and Tachina) but the slimmer shape of the abdomen and the redder colouration points towards Peleteria. If we could see the face then Peleteria should have a couple of strong bristles on the lower part, between the eye and the vibrissae located on the mouth edge. Tachina spp. don't have those bristles  |

It's a pity - the only frontal view I have is totally blurred. So I can only supply a magnification of pic 2. Can you see any decisive bristles there? Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [154.66Kb] |

Any chances for a species guess? Sundew |
