Gall midge (Rhopalomyia hirtipes) gall on goldenrod
Burnt Lands Provincial Park
This is a large gall made by a gall midge in the Cecidomyidae family. It is a terminal gall and you can see how it has disrupted the flower formation. Thanks to iNaturalist for ID and for the information that these galls are quite rare.
