Amorpha canescens gall larva - Rhopalomyia
Copyright © 2009 MJ Hatfield

Amorpha canescens gall larva - Rhopalomyia
Weaver Dunes, Wabasha County, Minnesota, USA
May 12, 2009
Size: 1 mm
larva inside what looks to be a silken case (or maybe hairs from the plant)
I was suprised to see it still alive (it moved). Most of the galls were empty but I've had nothing emerge.
