hi,
found this tephritid two days ago (8.august.2008) when sweeping through
Pulicaria plants. very small (4mm), male & female photographed.
checking forum i have reached to
Myopites, something more can be added? several specimens where collected.
thanks for the help,
cosmln

Hi Valery,
just checking. my mistake, was
Inula britannica not
Pulicaria.
thanks for identification.
i think i will add this to the gallery even if not good quality (there is none from
Myopites).

Their quality is good enough to ID specimens! Luckily, the discrepance with the host-plant identity is solved. I was thinking maybe my knowledge on this group is not good enough... :O
