Bryan WrightA poor little tephritid fly with crumpled wings. He crawled onto my hand and hung around a while. He couldn't fly, so I tucked him into what I thought would be a safe place outside.
Chuckling DuckAny fruit pest/disease folks on here? Does this look like damage from the Eastern Cherry Fruit Fly? On sour cherries in Manitoba, Canada. #FruitPests #PlantPests #phytopathology #Rhagoletis #tephritidae #Diptera #PlantPathology
Albert CardonaPresumably ovipositing, otherwise I don't understand the curious dance this colourful fly was doing. Quite the display given its wing and body colours and patterns.

SK53Still a few minibeasts about: Issus coleoapterus (nymph), an unidentified springtail, a Trioza (most likely T. remota), and a tephritid fly (possibly Tephritis vespertina). I see these, and a couple of others, nearly every day. The triozid and the fly were both covered in ice crystals on Sunday.

Axel SteinerBohrfliegenarten fallen oft aufgrund ihrer interessanten Flügelmuster auf. Diese Campiglossa-Art ist mit ca. 3 mm sehr klein. Ihre madenförmigen Larven leben von und in Pflanzen.

Terellia tussilaginis gehört zu der Familie der #Bohrfliegen (#Tephritidae). Man findet sie gerade u. a. auch auf Kletten (Arctium). Ihre Larven leben in den Blütenköpfen. ♀️ erkennt man an der Legeröhre.

Walter S.Here is another tephritid fly, Urophora stylata.

Colin PurringtonAnother very common insect in my yard, some sort of Strauzia that feeds on Jerusalem artichoke during its larval stage. Not sure of species because several do this, plus several more that might be undescribed. They have beautiful eyes. #strauzia #FruitFly #tephritidae #helianthus #diptera #entomology #nature
I love the colour of the eyes of this small tephritid fly (Chaetorellia sp., about 4 mm). The females have an ovipositor which they use to make a hole in plants and lay their eggs.
