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.

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.
