 The photos are not too good since the specimen is alive at the moment. We found several of these flies on an island (Oksøy Lighthouse) outside Kristiansand, Norway, 07.08.2020. Anyone have a clue what it is? I can send more detailed photos of specific parts if necessary.

 In Europe we have a Tephritis with comet-ish wing design :
This is Tephritis cometa.

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.

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.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
