Igelfliege in German... Thanks Daniele! As one not having much IDeas about lies, I cannot bother about all these name changes ;-)... And it seems that I will not start to read papers about flies, no, not at all!

If this is the right fly I think the name has changed and it is now Tachina fera. If that's the case there's at least a nice common name in French: Tachinaire sauvage :-) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachina_fera http://tachinidae.myspecies.info/taxonomy/term/464 http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=24247&pid=107587

Tachinidae, most probably Echinomyia fera. Please, verify and find a better common name!
