 Yep, a male Gymnosoma. And the little pink one is a female member of the Cecidomyiidae who is ovipositing in the flower. The latter seems to belong to the Compositae. Here we have active gall midges at the moment, ovipositing in the flower heads of Tanacetum vulgare. They greet their French relatives!

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
