Contarinia tritici
Almindelig hvedegalmyg, Wheat Yellow Blossom Midge, yellow wheat blossom midge
Contarinia (formerly Diplosis or Mayetiola) tritici is a small dipterous insect of the family of gall gnats. It depredates wheat, to which it is nearly as destructive as the famous and closely allied species, the Hessian fly. As is typical for agricultural pests, the species is known by a number of common names, including wheat fly, lemon wheat blossom midge, wheat blossom midge, wheat yellow blossom midge, yellow wheat blossom midge, and yellow wheat gall midge.
