Brassica Leaf Miner
Scaptomyza flava
This small fly is found around brassica plants in fields, gardens, and disturbed habitats. Adults fly between host leaves, feeding and seeking suitable sites to lay eggs. Females use their pointed egg-laying organs to place eggs where newly hatched larvae can immediately enter a leaf.
