Just like to say ello to everyone, sorry my first post regards ID.
Im just getting interested by bugs, and i found this on a couple of coastal habitats recently. Is this a Rhagoletis completa.
regards brian.

No response to this then, either its a rarity or not to be considered worthy of a comment.

Cheers Paul, i thought this would be an easy one to ID, because of the eyes being an extraordinary colour. I would love to include it my local Eye Project but cant do so until i have a firm ID.
regards brian.
