August 7, 2009. Manuka NAR, olopua exclosure. Drosophila digressa? Coloration is slightly different from those seen in Olaa: the median stripe is fainter, and an anterior median spot is present in the wing. This shows how many were at this spot (9 are present just in this shot), compared to how rare they are at Olaa (~3 specimens in the last 10 years of relatively intensive surveys).
