Glad you found one! Next you should try bringing them back to your house/lab and rear them out! The adults should be emerging any week now, and it really is a pretty nice looking fly that emerges!
Next time I’m out there I’ll have to grab a few stems and see what we get!
Great observation!
🙂
Definitely collect some galls and let the flies hatch. It’s really a neat little fly.
Will do. Hopefully I’ll get some pics, too.
Great minds think alike, or at least gall-alike! http://matthewwills.com/2010/04/30/field-notes-the-gall/
Ohh, those are great pics! The cotton-candy gall reminds me of one I found, oh, nearly 10 years ago, it was fuzzy and bright pink! Lost the pictures, though, sadly.
