• Phasia hemiptera is a rather distinctively shaped tachinid fly which parasitises various species of heteropteran bugs. An illustration of Ectophasia crassipennis, (a similarly shaped, but more brightly coloured European relative) is shown on Flies 12. The photographs of pairing Cylindromyia brassicaria were taken in the Dordogne, France.
