The Giant Tachina Fly
Tachina grossa must be one of the most
distinctive of the approximately 7,000 British fly species. Quite unmistakable,
large, and not perhaps the prettiest of creatures! Several of the close-up
photographs have been adjusted slightly to clarify the structural details of
the spines as these parasitic flies are so dark. This fly is widespread but mainly restricted to open areas including
heathland, coastal sites and woodland clearings. The photographs were taken in
France.
