On Golden Samphire, seen by Alan Gregg at Overton very recently. Surely a Tephritid fly maybe a Terellia? Not my field.

Myopites inulaedyssentericae would make sense, but I know nothing about this group.

The other Myopites, eximius is known from Gower, so that seems more likely and it appears to be associated with Inula crithmoides.

and I looked it up in the gall book by margaret redfern and then online for a picture and this will probably be it from an inexpert point of view!
