Hi all,

From several Tephritis species we now know that they hibernate trough winter. Last year I had a female T. formosa on January 6th!
In 1984 there were only two people looking at these intruiging flies, nowadays there are probably two more people looking at Tephritids in the Netherlands. Thus increasing our knowledge considerably. Though I must confess that most of the knowledge comes from Berhanrd Merz in Switzerland.

Best wishes,

John
