Hello,

This fly (4-5 mm) I saw depositing eggs ?? on Arctium tomentosum, 27-07-04, near Heerlen. She had several black spots on her wings.

Thanks,

Ben

JeeWee will probably tell you exactly which species it is, but I can tell you at least that it belongs to the Pallopteridae (genus Palloptera) and, JeeWee will correct me if I am wrong, I think some have beenr eared from thistle heads.
