You tach the high road, and I'll tach the low road - Winthemia quadripustulata

A decent day yesterday topped by re-keying and re-checking a nice tachinid fly which looks a likely candidate for a Scottish first (checking with NMS in case other records exist, as often turns out to be the case). Certainly the 6th tachinid I've added to the county's paltry list of 29 species.

W.quadripustulata is the most common of the British species, but NBN has no other records in the genus north of Leeds.
