Hi, On a dry grassland east of Berlin I came across very interesting insects recently. On a flowering stand of Helichrysum arenarium some typical Tephridids were running up and down. I would like to show them in the forum. Here we have Heringina guttata, a female. Sundew attached the following image:  [230.89Kb] |

Very nice, a pity we don't have them in the Netherlands. Germany seems to be a hotspot for Tephritids, but in the following article, (see the second picture), some people misinterprete the english term "Fruit Flies" : https://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/fruchtfliegen-in-der-kueche-wie-werden-ich-die-unliebsamen-insekten-wieder-los-a-9b7b335a-376a-437d-a636-acb10885ca5e Ben Edited by Ben Hamers on 01-09-2023 20:10 |

I have sent you an e-mail on the old t-online.de address. Let me know if it is still valid. Val |
