Leafroller Tachinid

Trigonospila brevifacies, a native of Australia. This little bristlefly is about 6 mm long. It was introduced into New Zealand to control the leaf roller caterpillar, on which its larvae feed.

Thank you for all the comments, hearts and stars for my moon shot yesterday. I had felt rather nervous about what I had done with the image, but now feel encouraged by so many positive comments.
