Tachina Fly, Cylindromyia intermedia

A pretty little fly that lays its eggs on the instar stages of Heteroptera (True Bugs).

The grub bores into the host and devours it from the inside, eventually killing it.

A number of pest species are controlled this way.


other sizes: small medium original auto
