Possibly Planetella, gall makers in Carex and Cyperus. |

It is a Cecidomyiidae female, and as long as we do not know which galls it induces, we cannot find a name... Oh, I see there is another reply coming at the same time - so if it really looks for Cyperaceae and does not just rest there in the grass, you got a good name! Edited by Sundew on 30-04-2013 19:05 |
