Hi, from what i have learned here i don't think this is Tachina. i will say maybe Peleteria? the legs are dark at color and is too little black on the abdomen, but most likely Theo or Chris will correct me. cosmln Edited by cosmln on 23-07-2008 08:27 |

Hello cosmln; Thanks for the hint! Peleteria rubescens looks quite right. I checked for the hosts: Melocosoma and Papilio: both butterflies I find regularly in my garden so this would fit as well. best regards; Norbert, |

It's difficult but I have to say it looks a bit like a Peleteria but I wouldn't like to say for sure without seeing the head better, to check for the Peleteria bristles. |
