Another Extremadura fly this time with clear knee pads. About 5 mm, not measured, calculated. The habitat is dehesa with lots of broom in flower. Trujillo, Extremadura, Western Spain.

Thank you for your promptness. I was on Digitalis purpurea. |

Looks like a female Phytomyzinae. Lots of species with similar colouration, so we may not be able to take it further from a photo. Just noticed that it was on Digitalis - if it was on its host plant, then it may well be Napomyza scrophulariae Edited by Tony Irwin on 23-03-2021 21:34 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Thank you both very much. From knowing nothing to, with your guidance, knowing a lot about these miners. Also a new family for me. Thanks |
