This tachinid fly came out from a Geometridae larva. Three larvae filled completely the body of the caterpillar. Possible to identify?

Yes, of course! I forgot they are loopers, but this time from Noctuidae! Insects are strange!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
