Pretty Little Fly. Campiglossa martii, Tephritid Fly, on Yellow-Flowering Scrub, Launaea arborescens, Meloneras, Gran Canaria, Spain

Here's a pretty little Fruitfly. It was first described in 1908 by Theodor Becker (1840-1928) under the name 'Oxyna martii'. He writes that it's a beautiful species by its coloring and patterned wings. Native especially to the coastal areas of the Canary Islands, its official name today is Campiglossa martii. The 'martii' is to honor great zoologist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868).
