There are many other pests of Asparagus, and platystomatids are predominanly secondary inviders, infesting plants mainly damaged by caterpillars or weevil grubs, eating mostly rotting tissues of the plants. So, it has not been proven if really this fly caused damage to asparagus, which can be eaten by a moth caterpillar or fruit fly maggots.
