Phasia hemiptera is a tachinid fly found throughout Northern and Southern Europe. It is a strongly sexually dimorphic species, males being more colourful with curved patterned wings. Like most tachinid flies, the female lays her eggs on other insects, the larvae then develop inside the living host, devouring it and eventually killing it. Its main hosts are the Forest bug (Pentatoma rufipes) and the Green shield bug (Palomena prasina).

dbpprop:abstract
  • Phasia hemiptera is a tachinid fly found throughout Northern and Southern Europe. It is a strongly sexually dimorphic species, males being more colourful with curved patterned wings. Like most tachinid flies, the female lays her eggs on other insects, the larvae then develop inside the living host, devouring it and eventually killing it. Its main hosts are the Forest bug (Pentatoma rufipes) and the Green shield bug (Palomena prasina). In the UK there are usually two generations per year, from April to June and then mid-July to September. It is not uncommon for it to be misidentified as a hoverfly.
  • Phasia hemiptera, früher Alophora hemiptera, ist ein Zweiflügler aus der Familie der Raupenfliegen (Tachinidae). Im Unterschied zu der Mehrzahl der Arten der Familie parasitieren ihre Larven nicht an Schmetterlingsraupen, sondern an Wanzen. Das Artepitheton hemiptera entspricht dem Namen der Ordnung der Schnabelkerfe, zu denen die Wanzen gerechnet werden. Deswegen wird die Art gelegentlich auch mit Wanzenfliege eingedeutscht. Das imposante Männchen ist leicht an den breiten Flügeln mit schillernden blauschwarzen Flecken zu erkennen.
