Hello. Am I correct in thinking that the attached image is of Rhagoletis meigenii? The image was taken in early July this year near a small pond in Worcestershire (VC 37). Thanks. |

No Rhagoletis. The flagellomere 1 is rounded apically, and oviscape is intensively black and short, so it is Trypeta immaculata Mcq., a leaf miner on Taraxacum. Also, R. meigenii has narrowe subbasal crossband, not fused to the short posterior patch (in T. immaculata forming a hook-like pattern) Edited by Nosferatumyia on 01-08-2021 17:18 Val |

eklans, It is really a very difficult case without genitalia dissection. I had to check myself twice. Val |

That's true Val, but ...flagellomere 1 is rounded apically is a very good hint. R. meigenii is quite common in my garden and I find it on Mahonia - and I've reworked my definition today
