I observed Ophiomyia stem mines and puparia on a cruciferous plant tentatively identified as B. vulgaris in early August, 2024. At least 2 puparia, both spent, were present under the epidermis at the ends of their stem mines. Photos of the host plant are available at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336308547.
