FLY- DELIA RADICUM

=================================================


Took this image about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to identify it.
These can be very difficult as some species have only minor differences.

Thanks to John Rowe It has been identified as a Cabbage Root Fly ( Delia Radicum ).


Delia Radicum    (Size 4-5mm)

( Thanks to John Rowe for ID )

  6. Hi Monts,

    Very nice pic! Id like to know if I can use your Delia radicum photograph
    for a free Dutch educational report for farmers. It will be published on
    www.kennisakker.nl, and of course we will mention the source/photographer!
