Hello flyforum, I am not sure if this is Tachinidae. The M1 vein in the wings is bounded, but that is not enough I'm afraid.. Under the head I can see two palps(?), or what are they? greeting robert, Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [87.28Kb] |

Hi Robert - yes it is a tachinid ... and those are palps ... but I am not sure which species it is. To get an identification we need to see the scutellar bristles, tergites and facial hairs a lot better.

Generally true. In this case however, I can ID the species positively as Epicampocera succincta. Based on the general dark, slightly bluish colouration, clubby black palpi and bended third antennal segment (syn. = curvicornis !!) A common species, predominantly in Pieris Theo Zeegers |
