Russia, Moscow, X 2019, meadow. I would like to know the identification (? genus, ? subfamily ?species) beacause I need to know the biology of the fly from the photo. It is for education. Timofey attached the following image: [287.46Kb] Edited by Timofey on 19-10-2019 21:31 |

This is a Siphona. The genus belongs to the Tachinidae and is nearly impossible to ID to species level from photos. James |

But there are exceptions to the no-ID rule: siphona geniculata, parasitoid of tipula larvae. Theo |

Theo, thank you for the comment! As I see, Siphona species with known biology are parasitoids on larvae of some Lepidoptera and Tipulidae. Is it correct to say so? Zeegers wrote: But there are exceptions to the no-ID rule: siphona geniculata, parasitoid of tipula larvae. Theo |

Hello Theo, Zeegers wrote: But there are exceptions to the no-ID rule: siphona geniculata, parasitoid of tipula larvae. may I ask, from which character(s) S. geniculata can be identified from photos? Siphona was very numerous here in the last weeks, but all photos I have stored as Siphona sp....
