Visual Description
Asphondylia floccosa is a gall-inducing midge. Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, the species is associated with distinct, often woolly or flocculent gall structures on its host plants.[1] These galls typically appear as dense, hair-like or cottony outgrowths on the stems or buds of the host, providing a protective environment for the developing larvae.[1]
