Rabdophaga repenticornua is a gall midge which forms galls on the buds of creeping willow ( Salix repens ).
The female fly lays an egg in the bud of Salix repens. The solitary, orange larva feeds within the bud which grows into a 13 mm long, horn-like, reddish tube which tapers to the tip. [1] Development of the larva probably takes two years. [2]
The gall has been found in Scotland. [1]
