I'm seeing these fairly regularly lately. Is it possible to ID to genus from the photo?
... or even subfamily for that matter....

Thanks. The antennae didn't seem to match anything I was finding on bugguide. I suppose these are more easily ID'd from the galls.

There are 12 cylindrical flagellomeres. The antennae are unusual. Asphondyliini have longer cylinders and other Cecidomyiidi have necks between them.
