"This fly species place eggs into the leaves of plants. The resulting larvae produce tunnels in the leaf as they feed. Commonly reffered to as Leafminers."

i've seen them around here as well .. i wonder if they are the same as these guys ..
flesh fly .. they look really similar .. :)


Hi Roz. I think it is L. Trifolii. There may be other species that lay eggs this way as well.

Thanks. For the comment. It’s a macro conversion lens that is attached to the camera lens.

I didn't know leaf miners were basically maggots. They infest my Columbine every year. Interesting. Nice detail on the fly, too.

Hmmm...looks like a red-eyed house fly but it could be a flesh fly. Flies are not my thing... Nice picture anywhay. Maybe they should have ID cards so we know what we're shooting.
