Tachina grossa or giant tachinid flycan reach a length of 15–19 millimetres 0.6–0.7 in. This species of fly is one of the largest throughout much of its range and is the largest tachinid in Europe. These flies are very distinctive, being hairy and with a black thorax and abdomen. In flight they resemble a bumblebee. The inflated, curved, all-black abdomen is covered with stiff, straight bristles, especially at the end of the abdominal segments. The head is bright yellow, with occipital yellow bristles. The large compound eyes are dark brown.
