Hi Tephritidae Rhagoletis ? I could'n find this one in the gallery. This red "thing" on its back is it a parasite? Size: very small, about 4-5 mm Date: 10. June 2009 Location: Switzerland, peripheral area of a nature reserve Regards, Brigitte brigitteu attached the following image:  [31.49Kb] Edited by brigitteu on 09-07-2009 15:04 |

Herina frondescentiae L. (Ulidiidae Otitinae)> BTW, U're not alone: Fabricius (1792) also misidentified this fly as "Musca cerasi L." (common cherry fruit fly) - and this mistake was continued by many other dipterists until the middle of XIX century.... The 2 next specialists who started their career in dipterology from misidentification this species as a fruitfly and trying to run through the key were myself and then, in 10 years Bernhard Merz...

The scarlet thing behind is a mite.
