Moved
Moved from Rhopalomyia gnaphalodis. So the original description of this gall may have been misidentified as another species, which complicates identification. I'll come back to this if I find more info.

They must be midge galls, but they're sure not in Gagne (1989).

Wish
I still lived there so I could try rearing, again. Maybe I can sneak back and collect. I've never seen them on any other sage except in the yard.

White sage
MJ's plant looks to me like White Sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) (but MJ could probably say for sure).

Yes,
it is Artemisia ludoviciana.
Thanks to you and Charley for moving this.
