2 unusual facts about Lonicera fly


Lonicera fly

A research team led by Dietmar Schwarz has argued that it most likely developed within that time by hybridization of two other species: R. mendax, the blueberry maggot, and R. zephyria, the snowberry maggot.

Few cases of animal species arising from hybridization are known (see Pomarine Skua or Mariana Mallard), although with DNA analysis more are being found.
