It certainly looks like a tachinid, but it isn't one I have seen in the UK  Did you take a specimen? |

Chris Sorry, for me nature is too pretty to be destroy. I never kill a fly or any else. Anyway, if I killed one, I don't know what I will do with it  But exceptionnelly if you want and if I find it again, I can try to catch one and send to you. I will ask somebody how to do it I hope you can understand what I say because my engllish is so bad like my knowledge about diptere Edith Edited by guenille on 06-07-2007 06:42 |

Hi Edith, If you don't feel confident with specimens then don't worry - though I would be happy to give advice if you do want to try. Tachinids are not a 'difficult' group but to identify them often we must see quite small features, such as individual hairs & bristles on the face, body, legs & wings. Of course, some genera are bigger, more colourful and generally easier to identify but most are not  Chris R. |
