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.

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.

A rare, rare fly: Katonaia hemileopsis
http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/164849783
A Tephritid, with a rather large and chunky ovipositor and all black body and wings except for whitish inner tips that give them the look of a cape or cloak.
Many thanks to black67 for the ID. All I could tell was its family.

Pelmatops tangliangi - one of the many spp of stalk-eyed flies - a male & female here in the Diptera collection at the @natural_history_museum
There are eight families of flies that contain some species of stalk-eyes!
Read this recent paper on how they achieve such ‘eye-popping’ feats 🤓#FlyFriday #Tephritidae #eyes

Oxyna flavipennis #Tephritidae an uncommon species the larvae of which gall the roots of Achillea millefolium (Yarrow). This one from the Brecks in the summer.

Extrait de notre interview d'une téphritide : "si à 5 jours t'as pas tes Ray-ban, t'as raté ta vie".
Lunettes vertes à pois rouges, il fallait oser.
