Cecidomyiidae, woodland Eutrochium - Neolasioptera
Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
October 5, 2017
Leaves 3, 5, and 6 (from top to bottom), each of which contains one or more cecidomyiid larvae in the midrib and petiole.

It's difficult to see here, but a slight discoloration, translucence, and/or swelling of leaf and petiole led me to collect these leaves.

Visible portion of midrib/petiole of leaf no 3. contains two larvae; leaves 5 and 6 have one larva each.
