Hi Ben,


Great pictures, as always !

The first Tachinid is a female Tachina (Servillia) lurida.
This species is no so common, mostly found in deciduous forests.

The second one is a species of Ectophasia, most likely E. crassipennis.
This Tachinid belongs to the subfamily Phasiinae, which have their hosts almost exclusively in Hemiptera.
Ectophasia crassipennis is indigenous in the Netherlands only some 10 years (global warming, etc.)
Brunssumerheide has been a hotspot for the last 5 years. Moreover, the species is very conspicuous and often found on flowers.
So I am hardly surprised you found it.

Hello Theo,

Thanks again for the names and the explanation.
It gives a picture an extra value when one knows
something about the animal on it.

Best regards,

Ben
