Gall Midge

Period: Cretaceous

Age: 100 million years

Region: Burma

These tiny animals, from the family Cecidomyiidae,
are known for causing galls in plants. Galls are
abnormalities resulting from injury to the plant
tissue. The larvae feed on numerous plant tissues
in which galls then develop. There has never been
the slightest change in either the anatomical struc-
ture or lifestyle and ways of feeding of any life
forms there have ever been. The 100-million-year-
old gall midge in the picture is just one of the pro-

ofs of this.
