Hello, I have photographied this little fly on a plant of my garden (Picris hieracioides) in Lille (North of France) on August 30th 2022. It is not easy to separate flies of the genius Tephritis and I am hesitating between three species : T. neesi, T. divisa and T. separata. Are you agree with that ? Perhaps these species can hardly be identified from my photos, nevertheless I am very curious to have your opinion, is it possible to name the species of this fly ? Thanks in advance, Dominique  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 30/08/2022 Altitude : 37 m - Taille : 4 mm environ Réf. : 309751  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 30/08/2022 Altitude : NR - Taille : 4 mm environ Réf. : 309845  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 30/08/2022 Altitude : NR - Taille : 4 mm environ Réf. : 309847 |

Seems to be T. divisa for its morphology. Secondly T. divisa is known to place its eggs in flower heads of Picris hieracioides. Greetings, Günter |
