Galls on Rudbeckia laciniata 'Herbstsonne' flowers - Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua
Beavercreek, Greene County, Ohio, USA
August 9, 2019
Might these galls on the flowers of Rudbeckia laciniata 'Herbstsonne' be caused by the midge Asphondylia rudbeckiaeconspicua? This is the first time I have noticed such galls on this plant, in the two decades it has dwelt in my garden.

Moved because the photos were languishing in ID request ... I am not confident these galls are caused by the midge I suggested, though that seems the best I can do in a google search. If I have placed them in the incorrect Order, tell me and I will move them elsewhere.

Moved from ID Request.
