Ansbach, garden near Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2023-09-27 Hedera helix My first attempt was female T. fera, then male T. magnicornis - but both don't match. Is this the mysterious male Tachina nupta? Looking very forward to your advanced ideas! Tachina fera female! Edited by eklans on 26-10-2023 18:17 |

It is a female. I would call nupta only in males. Moreover, it lokks like a typical fera to me. Theo |

Yes, indeed, I thought it was a male - base on this blurry image... And the yellow antennae that I recognised for the first time. Thank you once again, Theo, for bringing me back to earth! Edited by eklans on 26-10-2023 18:19 Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |
