Thanks Chris

I am often out and about so I will try for a specimen and even ask my colleague if he can get one from that same plant in his garden.

Thanks Jimmy ... sadly tachinids are very difficult for novices to identify from photos - you really have to know all the different alternatives and have a bit of experience with the group to attempt them. Specimens are much easier to work with and the British key is very good - and in the process of being revised ... by me :D
