Hello, since about two months I have two pupae here, the larvae parasitized in the caterpillars of a butterfly breed, (A. urticae). Meanwhile the butterflies are hatched about two weeks ago, but the flies don't seem to hatch. In the same breed there were two Braconidae nests, they hatched at the same time as the butterflies. What do you think how long it may take until the tachinid flies hatch ? Regards, Volkmar Volkmar attached the following image:  [42.27Kb] Edited by Volkmar on 03-07-2023 13:10 |

Possibly over winter ! If Sturmia bella, they should emerge August - September.. Theo |
