Hello! I found this tachinid fly in Central Germany Hesse, Kassel (Dönche), 180m asl. 02.06.2013 And since then I do not know how to ID her, to learn more about this parasitic fly. Thank you for your time. Best regards -guido gbohne attached the following image:  [286.9Kb] Edited by gbohne on 28-11-2017 08:46 Guido Bohne |

Phorocera obscura male. More elongared than most other Tachinidae. Very common in May in oak forests, get to know this one ! Theo |

I see her often in May. ID: I red that the thorax of P. obscura shows black stripes, inbetween grey; however here (photo) all black, no stripes? Guido Guido Bohne |

Pattern are best seen from behind. I agree, this one looks a bit weird, might got wet. Theo |

Haven't thought about it! Hence, the pattern is not "dusted", but a structural colour based on interference? It was rainy that spring; thanks a lot for your input! Cheers -guido Guido Bohne |
