Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinid eggs on Leptoglossus

I was recently sent a specimen of the coreid bug Leptoglossus occidentalis rom Cornwall and looking through my photos realise it has the egg of what is presumably a Tachinid fly attached to one side of the metapeluron.

Since this is such a recent arrival, I was curious as to which species might be responsible - are there known Dipteran parasites of Leptoglossus on the continent?

Many thanks
Tristan
