Tephritidae, Goldenrod Gall Fly gall size comparison - Eurosta solidaginis
Plymouth Rock Pioneer Cemetery, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
February 20, 2022
I thought that photographing the small galls next to a mm ruler would covey their small size but it didn't work for me. So took another photograph: the small galls in the middle, an old gall from a vase (left), and a newly collected gall from the yard (right) that was found pecked with a sunflower seed stuck in the opening.
