Hello,
Is it
Aciura coryli or
Oxyaciura tibialis?
Is the number of orbital setae the only visible difference between the two species?
Is the white/black/yellow area of the wing basis variable?
This one oviposits on
Rosmarinus officinalis
Ca. 4 mm; 13.08.2009; Southern France (+/- Marseille)

Oxyaciura tibialis R.-D. 1830.
I'd greatly appreciate granting me allowance to use this picture in a tephritid manual: this is obviously the first picture of HOW this species oviposite.

The baby's born:)
A few days ago I saw something blue, shining, inside the calyx of a
Rosmarinus'flower...
I kept it and this female emerged today:

I guess that the babies are sometimes eaten by
Eurytoma salvicola Zerova 2003...
For I found this page by chance: http://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=1908592
