Late record (04 Aug 2021)

Just had the tachind fly Linnaemya vulpina confirmed on irecord. My 12th tachinidae photographed in the valley. It is always located on or near Heather where it's host species the True Lover's Knot moth is found and is widespread throughout Britain where Heather and the Host occurs. Recorded from Garnwen on 04 Aug 21 near the top of the hill, where there is a lot of Heather around the small cliff-face.
