Thread subject: Diptera.info :: eggs on aphids - Cecidomyiidae?

Hello,

I found several eggs on aphids, which were living on Melilotus albus. On the same plant I found some larvae, which seemed to be Cecidomyiidae (?). The eggs' colour is the same and I don't think they are hymenopterans... >
Are there any cecidomyiids known for such oviposition habits?

eggs: 0,2-0,3 mm.

larva: 0,8 mm.
