Gall midge (Asphondylia)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Not often I get a chance to photograph one of the Cecidomyiid midges that create galls in plants. This one is actually quite large. This might be Asphondylia monacha? These particular midges in the Genus Asphondylia form galls in flower buds and are responsible for the rosette galls we see in goldenrods.
