Scaptomyza flava is an herbivorous leaf mining fly species in the family Drosophilidae. In Latin, flava means golden or yellow.[1] The fly is amber to dark brown in color and approximately 2.5 mm in length.[2][3] In Europe and New Zealand[4][5][6] the larvae are pests of plants in the order Brassicales, including arugula, brassicas, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, cabbage, canola, cauliflower, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, napa cabbage, nasturtium, radish, rapini, rutabaga, turnip, wasabi and watercress.[4] In New Zealand, its range has expanded to include host species that are intercropped with salad brassicas, including gypsophila, otherwise known as baby's breath, which is in the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) and the pea (Pisum sativum) in the Fabaceae.[6] More typically, S. flava is oligophagous within the Brassicales. Scaptomyza are unusual within the Drospophilidae because the group includes species that are truly herbivorous.[7][8][6] Other herbivorous drosophilids include D. suzukii, which attacks fruit very early during ripening[9] (and so is a frugivore) and species within the genus Lordiphosa, from Africa and Asia, which also include leaf miners.[10] Most drosophilids feed on microbes associated with decaying vegetation and sap fluxes.[11]
