I saw this couple U. stylata - U.cardui today in the Netherlands. They made a lot of work of it, the male rubbing the female's ovipositor to stimulate her. From the outside it looked as a complete copula. After a while some bad-mannered beetle chased them away. Ben Tephritidae Ben Hamers attached the following image: [65.97Kb] |
