In terms
of markings, Terellia
logicauda is one of the less distinctively marked Tephritid
Flies. It appears to be uncommon at the very least, across much of the
UK and many records available via the NBN Atlas, appear not to have been
confirmed. In Nottinghamshire, the only listed records date from
Cotgrave in 1948 (White, O.M.) provided
by the NBGRC (the Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records
Center). But this fly is still present, with the one below being
recorded by Peter Smith at Cotgrave Forest in 2019. Our thanks go to
Peter for providing us with his photographs below, to illustrate this
species. |
