 Oscinella sp., probably O. frit (L., 1758) (Chloropidae), the extremely harmful agricultural pest. (O. maura, O. pusilla and O. nigerrima can be excluded). The regurgitation droplet is a typical feeding mechanism of flies. It is repeatedly produced in order to thicken the viscosity of the ingested food.
