Puparium and fly - Gymnoclytia
Copyright © 2008 john and jane balaban

Puparium and fly - Gymnoclytia
Air Station Prairie, Glenview, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 20, 2008
Size: ~6mm
We don't know if these are useful. They can be frassed. We found this puparium mixed in with the seeds that rained down out of the Tradescantia ohiensis seedheads. We thought we would raise it and see what happened but we got distracted, the fly emerged and died.

Moved from Phasiinae.

The fly
Is a Tachinid, and they are parasites, so there must have lived some animal in the seedheads on which this species layed her eggs.Looks like a Phasiinae, something like Gymnoclyta or the like.
