midge
Can't devote much to blogging at the moment, but since we're feeling sorry for the dipterists this week here's a fly for you to look at:
Gall Midge, Cecidomyiidae - California
Maybe one of you fly folks could explain in the comments why Cecidomyiids are so cool. Aside from looking like little fairies, that is.
