Hello,

can someone identify this tachinid fly? With two other specimen, it hatched out of the pupa of an Arctiidae (butterfly) species, either Phragmatobis fuliginosa or Spilarctia lutea (exact determination will follow, I hope), which I found on 16. february this year. I still have the specimen, if someone is interested.

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), 16. 02. 2018; the flies hatched 18. - 21. 03. 2018.

Thanks in advance,

Michael
