Hello,
Yesterday, astonished by what looked like small red bugs (in fact, they are the flowers) on the extremities of what looked like a thuja, I brought back a branch to photograph it in better conditions.
While taking the picture, a small bug escaped from the plant, a midge. I captured it.
Determination of the plant thanks to Pl@ntNet, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ( Lawson's Cypress).
A small tour on W.N. Ellis' site by looking for the host plant:
https://bladminee...awsoniana/ ; a single midge, Cupressatia siskiyou.
Searching for this bug, we find

The bug looks very similar.
I don't know if this is conclusive ...
Many thanks and best whishes.
Michel
