Red Oak Prairie, Allamakee County, Iowa, USA
August 3, 2016
August 3, 2016: collected galls on Flowering Spurge, Euphorbia corollata, may be the same as:

August 7, 2016: multiple orange larvae out of galls, added damp peat
August 10, 2016: opened rotty gall to find larvae, put 2 into alcohol
August 24, 2016: an adult female
August 25, 2016: more adult flies
August 27, 2016: remembered to take them out of fridge, some flies still alive & found a pupa which I think was alive (until I set a petri dish on it)
As per Gagne's RedBook, p.188, “Swollen bud…. Dasineura sp. near capitigena"
1985 paper: Two new insects for leafy spurge control in the US
September 12, 2016: Dr. Gagné confirmed.
