Hello,
Long time from my last post.
I would be very pleased if you can tell me at what sp. these Tephritidae flies belongs to.
This picture was taken three days ago close to Rennes in Britany / France.
Kind regards.
Didier.

Ahhhh. very nice. You don't see this one very often!
Goniglossum wiedemanni, larvae live in fruits of Bryonia dioica (Cucurbitaceae).

John, that's it ... I was trying to take pictures of Andrena florea, a bee that only feeds on Bryonia. As I didn't succeed with the bee (my camera has a very long time between pressing the buton and taking the picture), I shot these beautiful flies on a Bryonia leaf.
Many thank's for the identification.
Didier.
