On beech leaves you will often come across elongate, lemon-shaped structures, which are at first green and later turn yellow or red; there are usually several on one leaf. These are galls whose formation is induced by the female Beech Gall-midge(Mikiola fagi) and each contains a developing larva. The tiny imago flies very early in the spring.... 1, record 1, English, - beech%20gall%2Dmidge

Mesurant 3,5 à 4 mm cet insecte est l'un des plus grands membres de la famille [des Cecidomyidae]. Il a de longues antennes. Les imagos se montrent très tôt au printemps et sont fréquents dans les hêtraies, les bois mixtes, surtout en montagne. La femelle pond ses œufs sur les hêtres dont les bourgeons s'ouvrent. Les larves provoquent sur la face supérieure des feuilles la formation de galles très visibles, en forme de gouttes et ayant une extrémité pointue. Elles endommagent surtout les tout jeunes arbres dans les pépinières. Elles passent l'hiver dans les galles tombées sur la litière. En Europe, la répartition de cette espèce correspond à celle du hêtre. Elle a été transportée en Amérique du Nord. 1, record 1, French, - galle%20du%20h%C3%AAtre
