Most of these small flies have well-marked (picture) wings. Some species are very common on or near their host plants in high summer. A few (Tephritis spp) hibernate as adults and can be found by searching grass tussocks etc during the winter.
Although the family is called "Gall Flies", only a minority of species have larvae which actually cause galls. The rest are internal feeders in fruits, stems or leaves.
