Thanks for your attempts to help Joke.

We have Senecio vulgaris which is quite common and sylvaticus, vernalis, viscousus and jacobaea. Of these viscosus is not so uncommon. Jacobaea is very uncommon but there are an old garden close to this site where I have seen it.

I am thinking about Botanophila seneciella
1-2 strong acrostichals, prealar same, the parafacial reddish/yellow, strong rows of upcurved setae on gena (seems to be 2 rows?), light yellowish colored on thorax and abdomen, arista seems strong pubescent.....
But can i be sure....i am sorry, i can't......it only has the looks of it and environment seems to fit
Female Antho....Sad
