Hello Theo,

Many Kirbya ?? We still have only one !


I don't mean several Kirbya species, but several individuals in the last weeks/days ;). But I still wait for better photos... (see below). In former years I rarely found more than one or two Kirbya moerens a season, in some years not one at all.

In any case, this Tachinidae is a Siphona in the maculata-complex, impossible to say which one.


Thanks! I thought of Siphona, but I never saw one this early in spring. Earliest find until now was April-25. Mostly they occur in early May.
