 Hi,
I found this pupa in the nest of Robin. Among many pupas of Calliphora azurea, I found one like this. It seems the larvae went to go to pupa to someones (another fly?) body.

 The double row of slightly different sized spines on each segment suggests to me that the fly pupariated in a portion of Lepidoptera pupal abdomen (possibly Tortricidae), presumably a discarded prey item.

 Thanks Tony but I am more interested to identify the fly (family would be enough). Any suggestions?

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
