Gallformers ID Notes

Greg Froelich reports on iNaturalist that "Ray Gagné has told me in a personal email that, while the photographic evidence doesn't land it squarely in this genus by itself, combined with the host plant, it's got to be Rhopalomyia." "No need for further evidence on the genus," Gagné assured Froelich.
