Euleia heraclei, known as the Celery fly or the Hogweed picture-wing fly is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Euleia of the family Tephritidae.[1][2]
It is found on Hogweed (hence its specific name)[3] and is a pest of celery and parsnips, where it damages the vegetables by leaf mining.[4] The species is dimorphic in that its body can be either black or else orange-brown.[5]
The males display on the upper surfaces of leaves on sunny days during May. Mating takes place when a female arrives (pictured). In Britain, the species is distributed widely across southern and central England; in Wales records are mainly near the coast.[6]
