  5. I wasn't that excited about this stock standard photo of a darkling beetle (Eleodes goryi), until I noticed the parasitic tachinid fly egg attached above the insect's midleg. This beetle is on borrowed time.

  9. The fly #Ectophasia #crassipennis (#Phasiinae, #Tachinidae,) has a Palearctic distribution and prefers #warmth. In Germany, warmth-favored areas are populated. Contrary to older literature referring to southern/southwest #Germany, the species also occurs in #Berlin. The #brood lives endoparasitically in #truebugs, often on #Pentatomidae. #Globalwarming favors the expansion of the original distribution of #warmthloving#species. #Biodiversity

  13. Happy #FridayFlyday! I was astonished to see this ENORMOUS, ferociously bristled fly, the size of a bumblebee, visiting the garden goldenrod. I had no idea flies could get this big, at least not here.

    It stared me down when my picture-taking annoyed it. I backed off, as I figured the beast could give me a concussion if it flew into my head with enough force.

  28. Found a stump this week with several Zelia lurking about. In at least one species in the genus, females give birth to motile larvae, depositing them at the holes in decomposing wood made by beetles. The larvae then crawl along the tunnels until they find hosts to burrow into. #fly #diptera #zelia #tachinidae #insect #nature #entomology #FlyDay
