Hello, I found such tachinids in April near Corralejo. They parasitize leafroller moths living on Nicotiana glauca. (I assume Choristoneura simonyi) Is species ID possible? Thanks, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [122.03Kb] |

Looks like Nemorilla maculosa. Did you collect any ? The host is a 'micro' ? Theo |

Many thanks for ID, Theo. Nemorilla maculosa is listed for Fuerteventura. http://www.azores...as2010.pdf I do not collect flies. I only take pictures. Yes, the host is a micro. There were some leaf wraps either with a caterpillar or with a pupa inside. The third option was a pupal case and a pupa wrapped together in a leaf.
