Leaf Miner fly - Agromyzid - Cerodontha

Leaf Miner fly - Agromyzid - Cerodontha
Medford, Jackson County, Oregon, USA
May 15, 2009
Size: 2mm
Attracted to light. The sclerotized and distinctively patterned and textured head, along with the wing venation, size, and shape of antennae, seem to indicate a leaf miner fly. This fly is very small - it landed on this electrical cord that is only 6mm wide.
