Hickory Smooth Gumdrop Gall Midge - Caryomyia sanguinolenta This leaf had 3 different species of Caryomyia midge galls on it. I&#039;ve IDed it for the pointy ones near the middle. Some of the galls looked parasitized. Plus, there is a tiny, yellow photobomber near the bottom of the photo.

      Hickory is like that! I often find multiple species of galls and other things on a single tree. Posted 2 years ago
