Breitflügelige Raupenfliege, Ectophasia crassipennis, Männchen

Breitflügelige Raupenfliege, Ectophasia crassipennis, Männchen.
Ectophasia crassipennis, the photo shows a male, is a fly belonging to the family tachinid, it can reach a body length up to 9 millimetres. Adults are visible from April to September feeding on pollen of many flowering plants, here on the blossom of a wild carrot, especially on umbellifers Apiaceae and Asteraceae. There are two generations per year, as this species is bivoltine. The first generation appears from mid-April to mid-June, the second from mid-July to the end of September. Like most tachinid flies, the female lays her eggs on other insects, the larvae then develop inside the living host, devouring it and eventually killing it (case of endoparasitism). Its main hosts are the forest bug Pentatoma rufipes in the spring, and the green shield bug Palomena prasina in the autumn. The pupation occurs after about two weeks. The adults hatch after two and a half to four weeks, with the males appearing earlier than the females.
