Stem-mine:
A shallow, inconspicuous external stem mine. Pupation in stem near
a node (Spencer, 1972b:
29).
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.
Posterior spiracles each with 7 bulbs (Spencer, 1972b: 29).
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).
Whitish-grey. Posterior spiracles each with 7 bulbs (Spencer,
1976: 68).
