Tephritis bardanae is a picture-winged fly of the family Tephritidae, which are variously known as fruit-flies (North America) or gall flies (Britain and Ireland).[4]

The larvae feed in the flower-heads (capitula) of species of Arctium (burdocks), causing galls to form.[5]

The larvae pupates in autumn, forming a black puparium.[5]
