Moved from Unidentified Leaf Mines.

Doesn't look anything like the other photo in this section, but this is the more typical form. Note the raised circle/ring in the brownish area. I think I showed you some of these at Wachusett Meadow.

This is by far the latest in the year this species has been found (if that is in fact the larva, which I think it is). Gagne's 2008 hickory paper states that larvae in the northeastern US have all dropped to the soil by mid-June, but I found some on August 2 in western MA this year.

Midge gall (and larva)...

It could be hickory
I know it was along the side of my driveway with oaks, maples, hickory and other trees. I can't remember exactly which tree it came from now.
