Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Cecidomyiidae, Rhabdophaga salicis -> Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Lepidoptera larva
#1
Ukraine, Rivne region, March 31.
This larva is found inside the galls on the willow (Salix caprea). Its size is about 1 cm.
Rhabdophaga salicis ?
#2
In these photos - a general view of the gauls.
#3
The larva is not like Rhabdophaga.
In these galls, someone else lives ?
#4
The larva is either coleopteran or hymneopteran. In particular
Euura (Tenthredinidae) eem to cause such galls in
Salix.

Thank you very much, Paul !!!
In the future, look for larvae.

There is speculation that the photo - moth larva.
What can you say about this ?

Euura seems to have a head that is higher than long, so you may be right in assuming that this is lepidopteran. Jens-Peter Kopelke reared material from more than 100,000
Salix galls. He may be able to help you further:
