Hello,

I found this tachinid fly in the Bentwoud area in the west of the Netherlands on 19 august. Is it a Carcelia, and is further ID possible?

thanks in advance,

Ramon

Looks like a male Carcelia bombylans, second generation.

Well, puberula does not have a second generation. That makes our job easy !
Should be bombylsns indeed.
