 Hi, found this 4 mm Tachinid (?) on 190728 in my garden (Ansbach, DE-Middle-Franconia, near old deciduous forest) and I wonder if it is a Phytomyoptera minutissima (or zonella)?
Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks, Eric

 Hi, here's another image showing better the red frontal vitta and long intra-alars.
Possible to be Phytomyptera/Elfia?

Thanks, Eric

 In these cases, when you have one very obvious feature but are otherwise lost, it might be very convenient to use www.tachinidae.eu.

 Hi Theo, I know the Mosch Web (tachinidae.eu) and it helped me a lot already. In this case, I was lost, and I will now try to find out why.

Thank you and greetings, Eric

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
