Tephritis
bardanae (Schrank,
1803)  |
||
| The often colourful Tephritid Flies are yet another severely under-recorded aspect of Nottinghamshire natural history. Although often noticed by ourselves, we have not done any work or made any identification attempts on these flies until early September 2010, when we specifically began to make the effort. Tephritis bardanae is found around the flower heads of Burdocks, the larva making a gall in the Capitulum. | ||
