Hi, fly-lovers! Here I have a possible Terellia longicauda to ID. Just checking pictures I concluded this might be the correct ID but I don't know if there are more similar species and I'm completely mistaken. It was taken in the mountains of N Spain, Leon province, in August this year. Any kind of help to confirm this ID will be highly appreciated. Cheers!

Dear Marian, no doubts, T. longicauda Mg., and on the right host plant! and the typical bluish gray cuticle coloration in live specimens. Please submit them to the gallery: pics are prefect, and the ID is absolutely correct. Val |
