Hi Cheri,
We wanted Eric Eaton’s opinion before writing back to you. Here is his response: ” No, don’t recognize the genus or species, but am fairly certain it is a picture-winged fly in the family Ulidiidae (formerly Otitidae), or something very closely related. The host plant should help you narrow it down further, in your copious spare time. Eric “
