Gymnosoma canadense
Gymnosoma canadense is a Nearctic tachinid fly described by Brooks in 1946. It belongs to a genus characterized by compact, rounded abdomens that resemble lady beetles. Like other members of Gymnosoma, its larvae are parasitoids of stink bugs (Pentatomidae). The species occurs in Canada and the United States, though detailed biological records remain limited.
