Hello, can this fly be a Cecidomyiidae? Data: Germany, Lower Saxony, Rodenberg, meadow orchard, 90 m, sitting on Frangula alnus, 12 April 2014. Best regards, Tina. Tina S attached the following image:  [126.94Kb] Edited by Tina S on 17-11-2020 01:42 |

Cecidomyiidae. It is not Contarinia rhamni, which breeds in flower buds of Frangula alnus. Possibly it is Dasineura frangulae, which breeds in galls of Contarinia rhamni. In my area Frangula alnus blooms in late May and I wouldn't expect eggs to be laid in flower buds so early. |
