Sugarbeet root maggot adult flies are similar in size and appearance to the house fly (about 1/4 inch). Unlike the house fly, the body is shiny black with few hairs. The wings of this fly are transparent with a smoky-brown patch located on the front of the wing about one-third the distance from the wing base. Also, the legs have yellowish-white bands on the next to last segment ("ankles"), with the rest of the leg being black. 3, record 1, English, - sugarbeet%20root%20maggot
