I vote for gall midge, Cecidomyiinae, which is much more likely to be laying eggs in a flower. |

It looks like Lasiopterini. Knowing the name of the flower may help ID if it is host-specific. Many genera in the tribe are associated with Chenopodiaceae, some with Asteraceae.

Two European species of Lasiopteridi are recorded from Tanacetum vulgare in the world catalog of gall midges. You probably have Ozirhincus tanaceti (Kieffer, 1889). The other species is Rhopalomyia tanaceticola (Karsch, 1879), which is in a different tribe than I think your fly is. You could also have a fly not previously associated with tansy. |

Hello John, I appreciate a lot that your helping me in trying to name such a small fly! It sure looks like Ozirhincus tanaceti, in internet are more pictures. I see they make also a gall in the flower, next time I may see to find it. Thank you for your lessons!! Regards, Hedy |
