Gallmaker, Laportea - Dasineura

Gallmaker, Laportea - Dasineura
Chattahoochie Park, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
September 9, 2017
Host is wood nettle, Laportea canadensis

Could be mistaken for a stem gall but I think it's actually a leaf or bud gall. Multiple animals inside, each in a cocoon within a small cell.
