Hello everyone Smile

Ukraine, South, Outskirts of the city of Kherson.
3.08.2017.

Galls on Artemisia santonica. They are created by aphids (Cryptosiphum sp). But apart from the aphids there are many predators. Including, presumably, larvae and pupae of flies. The pupa size is about 1 mm, or slightly larger.

Thanks in advance.

The bright orange larva and the nematoceran pupa suggest that these are Cecidomyiidae. Several species are predators of aphids.
