Leaf-miner: Linear
mine. Pupation either in the leaf at end of mine or externally (Spencer,
1976: 207).
Mine
upper-surface, in the central part of the blade. Frass in a few
large lumps; often all frass still is contained in the larva's intestine.
Larva solitary. Puparium in the mine, fixed ventrally with dried
frass (Bladmineerders van Europa).
Larva: The larvae of flies are leg-less maggots without a head capsule (see examples). They never have thoracic or abdominal legs. They do not have chewing mouthparts, although they do have a characteristic cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton (see examples), usually visible internally through the body wall.
Puparium: The puparia of flies are formed within the hardened last larval skin or puparium and as a result sheaths enclosing head appendages, wings and legs are not visible externally (see examples).
Dark brown; posterior spiracles arising from a common projection,
one bulb being long, hook-like, with the lower two ones small (Spencer,
1976: 207). The puparium is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
