Dasineura folliculi is a species of gall midge that induces galls on several species of goldenrod in North America.[1] It was first described by Ephraim Porter Felt in 1908.[1] Adults live for only one to three days, mating near the goldenrod before laying eggs between leaves. Larvae are gregarious, with anywhere between five and eighty in a gall. The larvae mature within three to four weeks of hatching.[2]
