I need the detail method to rear tachinid fly as the parasitoid.

I encouraged this author while he was a student doing this. It was a great piece of work on Archytas which is a tachinid fly. Health problems kept him from continuing in entomology. I suppose you could get such an organism by collecting and rearing out a lot of its host species.

Thank you very much Lewis, I will check that book as soon as possible later.
Thank you Mukesh, your new information will be very useful.
Muhamad, What is the insect problem you ae try to control with this parasitoid? Is Trigonospila sp native in your country?
Best regards,
Henry
Leafroller (Strepsicrates sp.). Not native and I need further investigation on it.
my one of colleague Nilam Shendage work on tachinid fly. she rared many species. she will definitely help u.
In sericulture, the tachnid fly menace is very high. We used to rear the insects by keeping the collected pupa in a cage made up of mosquito nets as shown in the picture and tied it on an iron frame of your desired size. Once the pupa emerges into flies provide sugar cubes and water in separate container. Once the adults started mating we introduce the silkworm with mulberry leaves so that the tachnid flies lay eggs on it. After rearing the silkworms for a week, the grown up tachnid maggots inside the worms would come out. This is how I produce the tachnid pupa and adult for my research work. Please see the attachment to get an idea of the cages. This cages has been used for rearing house flies for the production of Nesolynx thymus, a hyper-parasitoid for the tachnid fly pupa. All the best for your work. Thanks.
