 This fly spent a cold April night on a lock of a hornet nestbox.
Frankenhoehe Nature Park, conservation area Scheerweiher, 2024-04-18.
Is it a male Tachina ursina?
No, Tachina lurida!

 Actually, a male T. lurida. Shape of antenne is distinctive (and dust band on tergites are lacking)

 Thank you very much Theo! I was not sure as this male is much hairier than the females I saw until now - like a bear.

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
