hi Flyforum,
Some weeks ago I found a cocon of a Pieris sp.
I took it with me and wathced it with patient..
After some days I was surprised to find another cocon next to the Pieris cocon..
I first thought it was a wasp sp. and didn't think of a tachinidae sp...
So today I got another surprise..
It is a nice deepbleu coloured tachinidae which remind me of Epicampocera succincta ?
Am I close to it?
flygreet, robert

Mmm... I can't see very much of the fly - but it certainly looks like
Epicampocera and the host would be right :) But it would be nice to see the face from the side.

This ID is quite correct and, as stated, the host is typical.
