How long are orange gall midges, related to Boxwood Leaf Miner?

1/2 inch
1/8 inch
1/4 inch
3/8 inch

The correct answer is: 1/8 inch

The orange gall midge, a small insect often associated with the Boxwood Leaf Miner, typically measures about 1/8 inch in length. This size is characteristic for many midge species, which are generally small and can be hard to spot due to their size. Understanding the size and appearance of these pests can help pesticide applicators correctly identify them when diagnosing plant issues related to gall formations and leaf mining. It's important for applicators to recognize that the size of insect pests can impact control measures. Knowing that the orange gall midge is approximately 1/8 inch long allows applicators to effectively scout and monitor plants for their presence, determining the necessity and timing for pesticide applications to manage these pests.
