Gall -
Neolasioptera impatientifolia
Hartford County, Connecticut, USA
Size: ~ 10mm
Found another gall on Jewelweed (
Impatiens capensis
). The last one was identified as a gall created by the midge
Schizomyia impatientis
and was found on the flower/fruit.
This gall is on a leaf stem. Is it the same insect?

This is the same species that makes the midrib galls I described below.

Midge gall

this book
shows up. I had it checked out from a library before, and it's a great resource if you can find a copy. I had to order a used copy from the U.K.
