Hi, found this 4 mm Tachinid (?) on 190728 in my garden (Ansbach, DE-Middle-Franconia, near old deciduous forest) and I wonder if it is a Phytomyoptera minutissima (or zonella)?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks, Eric

Hi, here's another image showing better the red frontal vitta and long intra-alars.
Possible to be Phytomyptera/Elfia?
Thanks, Eric

Looks like Actia lamia to me.

In these cases, when you have one very obvious feature but are otherwise lost, it might be very convenient to use www.tachinidae.eu.

Hi Theo, I know the Mosch Web (tachinidae.eu) and it helped me a lot already. In this case, I was lost, and I will now try to find out why.
Thank you and greetings, Eric
