Sorry, not enough detail for me but Compsilura is a known parasitoid of Phalera bucephala, so it's a possibility |

But then again, Compsilura has been reared from anything, brick rocks included, so that does not mean much. I can't see enough in this resolution. Rui, please check in original whether ocellar bristles (between the 3 ocelli) are present or not. Theo |

Thank you, Theo I don't have a hand lens that zooms better than what my camera does, so I am putting the best images I have here. I hope that something can be seen. The 1st photo shows a newborn fly.

Compsilura concinnata?? the emerged fly shows an ocellar bristle. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 27-09-2007 23:28 |

?? I don't see an ocellar, which is consistent with Compsilura Theo |
