Hi all
Just been looking at the insect A-Z pages and found a mis-ident on one of the pics:
The picture associated with
Tachina fera is incorrect, the fly in the picture is the Tachinid Nowickia ferox. This is a very similar species to T.fera, the main distinguishing feature is that the legs in Nowickia are all black, in T.fera they are brown.
