Ectophasia sp. - Cyprus

Family: Tachinidae
Subfamily: Phasiinae

This Ectophasia species was found to host (internal parasite) in Spilostethus pandurus. The larvae complete the larval stage as an internal parasite. When the larva is ready to change to pupa, it gets outside of its host and change into pupa (possibly in the soil).
