Hi,
This is another Tephritid female seen in the Centaurea stoebe-dominated dry meadow some days ago. Here I have no name guess at the moment... Help is appreciated!
Thanks, Sundew

Acinia corniculata Ztt., usually on meadows with Centaurea jacea or nigra . There must be some of them, along with stoebe.

Nice pix!

Many thanks, Valery! There are some more Thephritids in my store, but they have to wait until I return from the holidays (that will hopefully enrich the store!).
