Interesting, because recently in southern England we have had the opposite - cool, wet Summers and often hotter, drier Springs. The number of tachinids seemed to suffer in the summers but that might have been made worse by the fact that it was so hard to find weather suitable for collecting insects. But the numbers of species and qualities were OK last year.

How are tachinids this year? Have you seen more due to that warm summer or did they suffer because their hosts suffered?
