Did you find a baby pupa in the spring ?what kind of scoops ( in the photo from the left).
I decided to bring out a butterfly. Forgotfrown.gif. When I remembered, I saw a picture, see photo.
I would like to hear the experts ' comments.
My version:
A parasitic fly unknown to me laid an egg on the scoops ' caterpillar at or before pupation. After pupation of the butterfly, the larva hatched from the egg and began to eat the hostess.
After finishing the meal, she chewed through the butterfly cocoon and pupated herself (cocoon c ?).
Then a fly hatched and died of starvation.
What kind of fly is this and whether my assumptions are correct.

This is a fly from sem. Bombyliidae, rather difficult to identify. Of the genera that parasitize Lepidoptera, only Villa is remembered-it seems, and it fits the habit...
Given the very poorly studied biology of Bombyliidae, the sequence of events proposed by you, apparently, is very close to the real one...
P.S. In the section "Definition of hymenoptera..." I also defined the German one for you (as far as it is possible for such groups from the photo...).
P. P. S. I am waiting for an answer to my question email address.

Which one did you mean:
It is similar to this Villa hottentotta (Linnaeus, 1758), Bombyliidae. But it is parasitic on wasps.
Villa occulta (Wiedemann in Meigen, 1920) SHAGGY-GHOST - on butterflies, I really didn't find a photo.

Please, at least before giving birth, determine the families of flies. All from the South Kazakhstan region.

I found 2 copies of these insects in my apartment. I couldn't assign them to any other species. In the living state, the legs are spread out in different directions. And in the dead (they died for an unknown reason) they put them together like flies.

And these are the flies - only the wingless ones. Blood-sucking flies of the family Hypoboscidae.
From a dog or bird.

26.05.2009 16:09, Simia

That is, they died from lack of food... We don't have a dog, probably pigeons or swifts abandoned. Can they spread to a cat or a human?

26.05.2009 16:35, omar

quite. they can hardly live on a human, but they can take a couple of bites to try it out.

26.05.2009 16:35, omar

In general, it looks like a bird.

1 -
belongs to the Sarcophagidae. 2,3-belongs to the Calliphoridae.

I would like to add that sarcophagidae are not at all banal flies with their world-famous 2500 species, but rather interesting parasites smile.gif

05.06.2009 18:29, Fliege

So be it, I'll tell you this secret, the first fly is Sarcophaga carnaria.
From your previous photos: _1_ belongs to the Psychodidae.
_2_, _3_ to the Culicidae (Aedes sp.)
_4_ most likely Tipulidae_5_
Chironomidae ?

An interesting Bombyliidae, one I've never seen in Central Europe before. It would really be very interesting to know what kind of view it is. Although many Bombyliidae can only be identified by their genitals.

I wonder what kind of mosquito it is? Saransk.

Well, this is probably Nephrotoma sp. (Tipulidae).
But you can write in PM to more enlightened ones, such as vep or Nikita V, I think you will not remain without an answer smile.gif
By the way, if they respond, please post the title here.

This is Ctenophora sp. I love them very much, but unfortunately, these cuties are very rare here. I attach the European key.

And who can tell you who it is?

A fairly large fly found in the steppe

picture: eww1.jpg
And this one is also in the steppe, similar in proportions to zhzhuzhal, but the size.. The wingspan is almost 5cm!

29.06.2009 8:39, Pirx

Volucella zonaria.


And at the same time it looks like V. inanis, oddly enough. The abdomen is like that of zonaria, but the pattern on the back is only visible in inanis (according to my data).

Calmed me down. I thought I was being stupid." It seems not quite similar to my zonaria

a small offtop:
is it known if anyone has tried to artificially grow such flies? or do they still have some great difficulties with reproduction, which makes this almost impossible...?
it just seems that the fly is very beautiful and nutritious and is ready to eat ordinary products - if it were possible to reproduce them relatively easily, then they would not be priced just smile.gif

As I recall, the larvae of these flies develop in the nests of fold-winged wasps. It seems to me that there will be some problems with the artificial cultivation of these flies.

And the fly is really very spectacular.

So for what purpose? Isn't it easier to catch in the field?

it's a pityfrown.gif, unless this method of reproduction is not very critical for them, and they could just be in a certain nutrient medium... but of course it is doubtful

I'm talking about how to grow them, as for example, they grow crickets there or drosophila with cockroaches-such a decorative and forage culture could be smile.gif
