Cecidomyiidi
gall midges, gall gnats
Cecidomyiidi is a supertribe of small flies within the subfamily Cecidomyiinae. Members are commonly known as gall midges or gall gnats. While many species induce plant galls, others exhibit diverse ecological roles including fungivory, parasitoidism, predation, and specialized mutualisms with plants. The supertribe includes species with unusual reproductive strategies such as brood site pollination, where larvae develop within floral structures.
