 Hello together

I found this fly on a street embankment in Baden-Wurttemberg (Southwest Germany) on March 19th, 2010. This one take flew there in a large number in and over the grass.

Is she part of the Tachinidae? Size about 8-9 mm.

Regards
Andreas

 Looks like Pollenia (Calliphoridae).

Only very few Tachinidae have the vertex so narrow (though they exist, for instance some Macquartia males)

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
