Hello! I found this on Hogweed while looking at the leaf mines which appear to be Phytomyza spondylii. This pupa was on top of the leaf, but there was another under the edge of one of the tips of the leaf. Size ~2mm tall. Found on the roadside in rough grass near my home, near Lincoln UK. 23rd June Janet blowave attached the following image:  [83.81Kb] Edited by blowave on 11-08-2011 21:34 http://cubits.org... |
