Hi, I had just identified yesterday's photos of a black slender tachinid (Mintho-like shape) to be Lophosia fasciata, new to me, when I see Roger's thread on the same species. Apparently they are now flying all over Europe! My photos are from a damp forest path in the foothills of the Black Forest (south-west Germany). I think confusion is impossible, the dark banded wings and the broad 3rd antennal segments are striking. Here are some pictures. Wishing you all many more exciting finds, Sundew |

Hello Sundew! I read your post yesterday, and today I saw my first Lophosia fasciata since 5 years.  On Heracleum sphondylium on a meadow near forest (northwest Germany). It was only my fourth find ever.
