Tachinidae ID? / South Korea (3) --> Miltogramminae:Sarcophagidae
wonwoong
Hello,

I would like to ask the ID of this Tachinidae, photographed on Aug.18, 2020 in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Wing venation is unique...not sure whether this is a Tachinid.
Any form of help is appreciated!

Specimen not collected.

This is very likely a Miltogramminae (Sarcophagidae).

Thanks for pointing out. I'll try not to confuse these species with Tachinidae.

It can be very tricky.

Some red flags, from a Tachinidae point of view
* abdomen very elongated and conical
* acrostichal bristles are lacking !!
* strong appendix to bend in vein M
* and of course in this case the silvery parafrontal.

Great! I'll keep these key characteristics in mind. Thanks for sharing the information Theo Smile

Of course, these are rules of thumb. There are exceptions to all of them, but combined together.... a clear signal.
