Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinid pupae

Hello,

since about two months I have two pupae here, the larvae parasitized in the caterpillars of a butterfly breed, (A. urticae). Meanwhile the butterflies are hatched about two weeks ago, but the flies don't seem to hatch. In the same breed there were two Braconidae nests, they hatched at the same time as the butterflies.
What do you think how long it may take until the tachinid flies hatch ?

Regards, Volkmar
