Craneiobia tuba
Craneiobia tuba is a gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae that induces distinctive cylindrical galls on dogwood leaves. The species is known from four host plants in the genus Cornus. Adults emerge in spring to lay eggs on unfolding leaves, with galls developing by summer. Larvae complete development in fall, then overwinter underground in cocoons.
