Hi everybody!
Yesterday I've found this pretty fly in Onopordum sp. It's a female with a long laying-egg organ (it's said "ovopositor" as in Spanish??). Maybe can be a Tephritidae? If it's, is the biggest Tephritidae that I've seen ever (same size than Musca domestica, or sligthly bigger). The Onopordum plant was in a rural zone with cultivated fields, in a continental mediterranean climate, at 300 meters high, in Pe?aflor, Zaragoza, NE Spain.
Thanks for your help.
