http://i65.photob...inid03.jpg http://i65.photob...inid02.jpg Hello all, This small tachinid is new to me. Looks a lot like a Gymnosoma, but all black. Any suggestion ? Approx 5-6 mm Sclaigneaux (Belgium) July 4th 2006. Cheers Philippe |

http://i65.photob...inid01.jpg Thanks for the info. It certainly looks convincing, especially as the environment I found them in is exactly what your link describes, and i have seen many Aelia acuminata (their favorite host) over there. I was wondering whether this could be the male, then.? I had casually identified it as G. rotundata. Philippe |
