A photographer asked me for the name of this fly. For me it looks a bit like the fly of this thread. Am I wrong?

The answer to the original question is Parasetigena silvestris (Exoristini) Largest numbers in June, parasite of Lymantria monacha. The new one is quite different, a species in Goniini / Eryciini complex One of the most difficult groups in Tachinidae. Theo Zeegers |

Thx Theo, I already posted a similar fly in this thread. The birstles in this fly seem to be of very different length, which gives it a slightly different jizz. Apparently the bristle length is not a reliable feature in these flies. I wonder whether this fly will accept L. dispar as a host. There were quite a lot of L. dispar in the forest where both of these images were made, but to my knowledge no L. monacha, at least I did not get any this year. |
