13 August 2008, NB Canada. Length: 7.2mm Tachinid is a wild guess but it does seem to have a large subscutellum  EDIT: title changed Tony T attached the following image:  [158.02Kb] Edited by Tony T on 15-08-2008 12:35 |

From art back to science: It is a Phasiine Tachinid of the genus Gymnoclytia. Theo |

Hmm, if I have a pin-up of a tachinid will my girlfriend be jealous ... or just think I am crazy?  (Actually she already knows I am crazy so there's not much risk there  ) |

Theo: I could send you a print of lateral view, and/or a print of the face. Any size up to about 12x12 inches. Attaching a dorsal view of abdomen. Sunnny day forecast after almost 2 weeks of cloud and rain; off to get some tabanids! Tony T attached the following image:  [106.37Kb] |

It may be OK. Looking at the characteristics of the genus this appears to be a male. Hmnm, maybe not so OK.  (cough, cough) ... I am off to watch football, drink beer and hunt bears with just my hands  But seriously - that's exquisite ... absolutely amazing clarity - well done |
