Is this "interspecies breeding"? Can somebody determine both species? As for female I guess it could be Terellia (Cerajocera) tussilaginis, which is present in the area. Slovakia, the border of the city of Banska Bystrica, at Arctium sp., 12 july 2013

Terellia tussilaginis (female) and Tephritis bardanae (male). No comments! ("Kamasutra everyone!" -- Milos Forman's Hair)
