blitzschnell, Theo :) Thank You very much for your time.

I thought it was a sarc until i looked at my photos. I am happy to find this one. I like Tachinids but i still have alot to learn about them. I'd like to upgrade my microscope soon for better photos. I'll start looking for a better setup.

Meantime, I found it sitting on a tree trunk in the sunshine along a pathway between a field and woodlands.

I will study the photos now. He is very interesting and very pretty despite being grayish. Tachinids are very interesting.

I will clear the genitalia in clove oil for a day or two, then try to make better photos. I'll add them to the gallery along with a better lateral photo.

Thanks again, Theo. I have much to learn about Tachinids. I'm actually hoping to find some Istochaeta. If I find them, I'll let you know immediately.

I hope that you have a pleasant day.
