Agromyzidae, Columbine seed feeder - Phytomyza krygeri

Agromyzidae, Columbine seed feeder - Phytomyza krygeri
Plymouth Rock, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
June 17, 2018
June 13, 2018: meandering with John van der Linden who showed me (among other things) evidence of flies in the seed heads of Columbine, Aquilega canadensis
June 17, 2018: looking closer: 1 puparium, 1 dried larva, evidence of feeding. Unable to rear.
Thank you John!

April 27, 2019: except for actually tossing the puparium, I had given up on this one. Fly emerged.
