Hello,

excuse me for my bad English.

The following Tachinidae is a result from breeding of Araschnia levana. The caterpillars of Araschnia levana I found in last autumn in Freiberg/Saxony in Germany. On 17th March 2011 this Diptera come from a puppa of Araschnia levana.

What is the species of this Diptera? Can anybody help me?

Dear Maik

This forum requests you to post the photos here and not to use links, thanks

it is Sturmia bella, a typical parasitoid of Nymphalidae (so that figures !)

Looks like a Sturmia to me too :)
