Schizomyia viticola

 * ... that although the gall midge Schizomyia viticola can produce up to 135 galls (pictured) on a single grape vine leaf, the plant is not harmed? Source: "The galls are usually very numerous upon a leaf, as many as 135 occurring on one taken here in Augsut 1897:  but though they may be found very thick upon a few leaves, I find no record of their ever having been very injurious."
 * ALT1:... that the gall midge Schizomyia viticola produces red or green conical-shaped galls (pictured) on grape vines? Source: "Grape-vine tube gall [...] Narrow, elongated or conical. Green or bright red. In numbers on upper side of the leaves of wild grapes."
 * Reviewed: Not needed yet, this is my 4th nomination

 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article meets the age and length criteria. No plagiarism or POV issues detected. QPQ not needed. Both the hook facts are interesting, within limits and cited to reliable sources in the article's main body. Article text uses at least one inline citation per paragraph. Personally, I feel that the 1st hook is more interesting than the 2nd one. Good to go. --Skr15081997 (talk) 06:17, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
