This female was ovipositing in lettuce-flowers in the kitchengarden Aug.5 -2016. In the middle part of Sweden. Size 6 mm.
Is it possible to tell genera or even species from this Pictures ?
Kind Regards
Patrik

Botanophila .....maybe
seneciella
Mostly known from
Jacobaea vulgaris, so I have a little doubt finding this species in
Lactuca sativa....it could also be
B. gnava.
Always difficult with females.....they look all the same.

Thank you Johanna for giving me the right genera !
More than 50 Botanophila in the Swedish-list and after a look at their latin species-names, I can see many of them are found of Composite-flowers.
Best Regards
