Ray now says, "I am usually a little wary about ascribing galls to
Clinodiplosis
, but in this case with the
Clinodiplosis
being the sole inhabitant and repeatedly reared from these non-complex galls, I am satisfied that it is the cause."

Ray Gagne's report after examining the specimens: "This is a series of Clinodiplosis adults that I believe are secondary because, 1, they’re Clinodiplosis and, 2, they emerged in the same season as the gall. One would need to see larvae in these galls to be certain of the identity of the gall maker." So I guess you'd better preserve some larvae this season, and maybe try rearing again, to be sure what midge is causing these galls. There were a bunch of parasitoids but I didn't see evidence of any other midge larvae.

I am not sure if I'll be able
I am not sure if I'll be able to access this site again, but I will try. If you are ok with me sending you specimens, I can try that. Otherwise, I can try opening up galls and preserving any larvae inside. I haven't had much luck preserving specimens in the refrigerator over winter.

You can send me the galls again
if you're able to collect some more. It might be good to put at least one gall in alcohol right away just to make sure the larvae don't all pupate before they get to me.
Speaking of which, Dr. Gagne has the preserved Baccharis Asteromyia galls now too, but he's going to wait until he's able to go back to work at the Smithsonian before he tries opening those. It's been over a year now since the museum closed, so hopefully he doesn't have to wait too much longer...
