Hi Maybe I saw my first tachinidae of the year today.. not sure. Theo or Chris... is it possible to see the Wagneriini tribe in these days? I saw a tachinid with very strong antennas and very black body. It moved a lot its wings too. It was a little nervous. I'm pretty sure I saw a tachinid. Ok, I know it is impossible with this description to confirm even the family.  Which are the possibilities for early tachinids? The environment around is a farmland with very recent cultivation on the earth. And there are plenty Olaea europaea, Pinus spp., Acacia spp., and some Castanus sativa... I spotted the fly during the midday. Yesterday I saw my first Bibionidae and today I saw a Bibio in final stage... |

Kirbya moerens would be an obvious candidate. Already seen in February this year, see earlier post. Theo |

hmm... no, the antenna were more stronger like Lophosia... it resembles a little.. but not so large and they are very darker - almost coal colour. |
