On the last November 3rd, I collected a larva of the noctuid Acronicta rumicis. Yesterday a larva of a tachinid (I think) came out of the host pupa. I know it must be very hard/impossible to find out the exact species but I would like to know what species and subfamilies are possible. I've checking out on the net and I discovered that Exorista larvarum parasitizes this noctuid. location: Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal date: 2008/01/08    |

there are more tachinids that can parasite this pupa: Compsilura concinnata Nilea hortulana Exorista larvarum Pales pavida |

I hope that from the four you mentioned it is Exorista larvarum because I already met the others . |
