What ARE the black dots? This fly was on leaf of Solanum tuberosum.

Very nice fly...

Species ID, please. And once again, thank you.

1 = Thereva sp. (Therevidae). The shining calli [another term missing from the glossary paul Pfft] on the head are typical for females of this genus. In most species they form a continous band. I don't know all central/southern European species but it may be possible to find a species name. Where was this pohto taken?

2 = Tephritis sp. (Tephritidae). Again, perhaps a expert can say more, we'll see.

The Thereva was taken in Valega - PORTUGAL - 35 km south of Oporto. The Tephritis too... They was taken both today. (in afternoon... about 7 p.m.)
All photos I showed before were taken here in Portugal - Southern Europe.

I'm waiting for more opinions. Thank you for advance.

That shinning calli... which are their role on fly?

LoL, do you think I can add, say, one thousand terms in a few weeks.

Smile Before you start complaining: If you want you can submit terms of your own. Pfft

So if you think something is missing, maybe you should be the one to add it. Cool

Who is the expert in Tephritidae and Therevidae so he/she could help to identify specie..? Thank you once again!

This a great group! If you are concerned about genus of spiders I can give a help. (to the species I dont have yet stereomicroscope).
