Hello, Splendid Tachinid, in Savoy, 2007/7/17, 10-12mm. Is it possible to tell the genus and maybe the species? Thanks in advance. pierred attached the following image:  [97.16Kb] Edited by pierred on 05-08-2007 09:19 Pierre Duhem |

It's a female (?) Masicera, often mistaken for a Sarcophagidae. Great you noted directly it is indeed a Tachinid. Can't give a species name, but silvatica is very common on Umbelliferae. Theo Zeegers |

Theo, Thanks a lot. After reading so much posts on Tachinids, one begins to have an educated eye for them. It is not in the gallery, I'll post it. May I say M. cf. silvatica, or is it enough to say Masicera sp.? Pierre Duhem |
