Hello! This one is known as Tephritis simplex (Loew, 1844). Very peculiar

Today I collected the female.
Both were on Silybum marianum.
Thank you Severin.

Interesting, according to Merz, 1994 the host plant is Crepis albida. Probably specimens just fed on flowers of Silybum plant.

Hah) I am wrong, of course it is too early. On the other hand all Tephritis species are overwintering as imago, so they can just seeking for the proper host plant.

This group of species is associated with Tragopogon. Flies often overwintering inside shrubs and grasses, and certainly have nothing to do with Sylibum.

Camargue winters are mild and Silybum quickly becomes exuberant. Indeed, it is a refuge plant for many insects and amphibians as Hyla meridionalis.
Thank you both.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
