CosmIn, you are a true genius! I googled Rhopalomyia tanaceticola and found several gall pics absolutely identical to mine. Unfortunately, there is no pic of the gall midge itself. I saw you put another gall photo in the gallery, so would it be of use to add the Rhopalomyia tanaceticola galls, too? They seem to be very typical.
Anyhow, many thanks for the quick ID!
