Hello,

I want to ask for your expertize on something I have never seen before.
I have photos coming from two different locations (Sardinia and Tuscany, Italy) showing an interesting phenomenon: very large pullulations of tiny yellow larvae crawling on the ground. The larvae are able to perform small jumps.
Interestingly, in both sites this pullulations occurred under Cupressus trees. The ground was covered with Cupressus male flowers.
I suspect that these are some Tephritoidea larvae, but I never came across something like that before.
Any ideas? Are there particular species linked with Cupressus trees?
