Fly pic taken yesterday South coast UK- about 6mm body length. Odd thging about the fly was it was bobbing up and down on the leaf- almost looked like it was doing early morning exercise press- ups Any ideas ? Thanks Brian V.

Looks like Phytobia sp. Agromyzidae..If so, one for Milos. 6 mm seems a bit big though.

Probably Phytobia or Agromyza. European Phytobyia are largo species with and wing lenght from 3.0-5.5 (6) mm, and Agromyza sp. 2-4 mm. On wing isn't visible subcosta. Milos |
