Eulophid interested in agromyzid leaf mines

Eulophid interested in agromyzid leaf mines
Brewster County, Texas, USA
November 12, 2012
The mines were on this plant, which seemed to me to be some kind of climbing milkweed.

Moved
Moved from Eulophidae.

Very interesting!
Last year I reared a similar if not identical Eulophid also from agromyzid mines on milkweed, though I am still in the dark as to its ID beyond family. Hoping to rear some more of these soon.

 
Did you rear any flies?
Any milkweed miner from California is likely to be something new/interesting.

 
Yes
I did rear a few flies which appeared to be Liriomyza to me, though I did not take many photos. Just uploaded one here:

I will be attempting to rear more of these soon.
