Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Mintho rufiventris (?) sitting on pupae

Dear forum,

This morning I noticed on a Hedera leaf this Tachinid - which I believe to be Mintho rufiventris - sitting on a group of pupae (most of them empty). Was she sitting there by coincidence or did she have something in mind? And can anyone identify these pupae?

Best regards, Niek

Braconidae (Hymenoptera) pupae? not sure.
