Paul was right, in Africa (Egypt, Luxor, 28 jan) I immediately found same hedgehog-fly. With two additions... 1. Much better common name will be porcupine-fly. 2. As for scientific name, according fast reply of Emilia Narchuk - it is Anatrichus erinaceus Loew.!

And Porcupine-fly from Thailand seems to be of single possible species - Anatrichus pygmaeus.

I have seen material from Africa, some time ago, and it appeared that there were at least two species there. The one from the central part being different from the described erinaceus.

 Why, Paul, you do not discribe new species?

I am sorry I am opening up an old thread. A. erinaceus has been reported as sorghum shoot fly from Africa. BUt has varioysly been reported as parasite preadtor lsewhere. Any link to its ecology. WE get quite a few of them in rice Chisha |
