Hello,

I photographed found fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on September 30th 2022 stuck in the web of a Zygiella x-notata. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Might be a female Stom8na. Difficult to see.

Thanks. I know it's not easy to identify when it's wrapped in the spider's silk.
