| Tachina fera | | Tachina fera (synonym: Echinomyia fera) belong to the family tachina flies (Tachinidae) in the order Diptera. They are encountered commonly throughout Europe and Asia. Adult Tachina fera reach body lengths of 9-16 mm. Their body is predominantly red to orangish-red in colour. Their limbs are reddish-brown with spiny appendages. | | |
| | Tachina flies | | Tachina flies (Tachinidae), also called tachinids, are a family in the order Diptera. Approximately 8200 species are encountered throughout the world. About 500, are found in Europe. The tachina flies are divided into 4 subfamilies, known as Phasiinae, Dexiinae, Tachininae and Exoristinae. | | |

...ctar, vegetable juices, feces or on carrion. Their larvae feed parasitically on all kinds of larvae, pupae and adult insects. This includes caterpillars, beetles (larvae and adults) and the larvae of various Diptera and arthropods. The larvae of the tachina flies enter their host animals in different ways. Firstly through ingestion of their eggs, secondly through oviposition directly on the host animal, or thirdly through the hatched larvae’s direct entry into the host animal. Usually the host animals ...
...mal, or thirdly through the hatched larvae’s direct entry into the host animal. Usually the host animals die before the larvae’s development is complete. The pupation of the larvae usually occurs outside the host animal.
Since the larvae of many tachina flies kill pests, they are very welcome in the agriculture and forestry industry. | | |
| | On both sides of the abdomen are yellowish to brown spots and on the upper side of the abdomen is a broad stripe of strong, black bristles. Their ability to see is highly developed.
Tachina fera prefer forest edges, forests, natural gardens, large parks and open countryside. They can usually be found on flowers, looking for nectar. Tachina fera are diurnal flies. They are active from April to October.

The most important natural enemies of the beetles are pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi), parasites (Ichneumon wasps, tachina flies, Acarina) and enemies like birds, hedgehogs, shrews, bats, reptiles, spiders, fish, amphibians and even other species of beetle which feed on them.
Beetles are often divided by humans into two groups: those that are harmful and those that... | | |
| | Adult Tachina fera feed on the nectar of flowering plants and on honeydew, while their larvae live off the body tissue of different caterpillars. The females lay their eggs near the caterpillars. The larvae immediately hatch from their eggs and penetrate t... | | |
| | Some examples of natural enemies of orange tip caterpillar are tachina flies (Tachinidae) and braconids (Braconidae), which lay their eggs inside the caterpillars. After hatching, the larvae eat their host from inside out. At the end of July or in early August the caterpillars pupate with their heads upwards. Pupati... | | |
| | These predominantly diurnal flies reach body lengths of 2-20 mm, with the length varying according to what species they are. They are primarily black in colour with grey tires. They are often very hairy, especially their abdomens. Tachina flies can be identified by their scutellum. This bulges at the rear edge of the upper side of the chest - just like a bead segment. Their sensors are tripartite. At the front of their heads there are sucking (sometimes piercing and sucking) mouth pa... | | |
