Hello, could it be possible to confirm (or not) that we are facing : Urophora quadrifasciata (male) ? This picture was taken the 9-June-2006 in France close to Rennes. The flie is on an Oxeye Daisy flower. Thanks in advance. Didier. Didier attached the following image:  [63.42Kb] Edited by Didier on 13-06-2006 19:13 |

Very unusual for this species to sit on a daisy, but you're quite right it's U. quadrifasciata, a male. Hosts are several Centaurea species. John |

Thank's John, Centaurea flowers were also opened out close to the daisy ones. Didier. |
