Field survey reveals 70 gall midge species in Estonia through sampling and citizen science, highlighting a previously undocumented regional insect fauna.
Plant-feeding gall midges are reported from Estonia for the first time. A week-long field trip in August 2025 resulted in records of 45 species as new to the country. Adding reliable records of additional species from citizen science portals resulted in a first preliminary checklist of 70 species, two of which were identified to the genus level only. This is but a first stab at investigating the hitherto unknown gall midge fauna of Estonia.
