Could someone help me identifying these Urophora?
The photo was made in Pyrennees, Catalonia, on 27.7.2011.

Thanks

Hi Jordi.
You already know I'm no expert, but her look is very similar to this one: http://www.dipter...to_id=7662: Urophora terebrans

Best Regards

Indeed, the plant looks to be Cirsium eriophorum, the host plant of U. terebrans, and the black femora are another evidence of this ID.
