Hello!

This one from yesterday was about 0.7 mm (UV light in garden, Ostwestfalen/Germany). Is it possible to say more than Cecidomyiidae? Thanks!

Great picture of a cecid, J?rgen. (I don't think I can add anything else!:))

In one of my books is a picture of Brittenia fraxinicola, which looks a lot like this one (we also have many ashes here). But I guess, there will be many more looking similarly... :|
