TachImage Gallery

by James E. O'Hara and Shannon Henderson

This is the homepage of a series of web pages that provide pictures of authoritatively identified tachinid specimens. The imaged specimens are primarly housed in the Diptera Unit of the Canadian National Collection of Insects (CNC) in Ottawa, Canada.

This is an active website and images will be added periodically. The date of the last update is shown at the bottom of this page.

Using the TachImage Gallery

Each species has its own web page, which can be accessed by clicking a name in the list below. Images are arranged as thumbnails on the right side of each species page. Click a thumbnail to open an image in the larger frame to the left and to display label and related information in the box below the images. Images have been prepared using Zoomify and can be zoomed and moved around in the frame.

A uniquely numbered identifier label has been added to each imaged specimen and the number on the identifier label is cited under each image. Details about the photographic and lighting equipment used to take the images are given on the Photographic Methods page.

Species pages for North American Tachinidae follow the classification given in the Taxonomic and Host Catalogue of the Tachinidae of America North of Mexico. The generic classification for North American and other Tachinidae follows World Genera of the Tachinidae (Diptera) and their Regional Occurrence.
