Hello,

This was ~1.5mm, taken on 14th September 2009 in my garden near Lincoln UK.

I found one which looks very much like it, Phytomyza crassiseta but that is with a ?.

I do have a species of Veronica in my garden which is host plant to that species. Is it possible to say which species this is? Thanks!

2 pics.

Janet :)

Hi Janet,
after photographs it is not possible determine genus reliably. On http://micropics....siseta.htm is probably female Aulagromyza sp., no Phytomyza crassiseta.

Thanks Miloš,

I guess that means no genus is possible?

Do you know what Napomyza carotae looks like? I was searching for Napomyza lateralis as there was a similarity to that species on
micropics.

I found N. carotae on this site which I must have as my carrots are mined both on the outside as well as down the centre! I know I have Psilia rosae but I didn't know there was another fly which attacks carrots!
