Have a good Evening. One Question please. I found this one image in my archive. Could it be Chaetorellia jacea, or is only Chaetorellia sp. possible?
Unfortunately, the photo isn't sharp enough. She's sitting on an Achillea millefolium. I would be very grateful for an answer.
Location data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, flowering area, 24.7.2020
Kind regards Karl.

Just from my experienced eye:
1. Ovipositor long.
2. Discal and subapcal crossband oblique.
3. Common in the meadows/

Chaetorellia jaceae (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830)

A good evening Val. Thank you for the Confirmation and the Information of Chaetorellia jaceae . That was the last Tephritidae species from my archive.
Kind Regards Karl.
