I have no idea what the daylily gall midge is, and whether or not we have it here...
I will have to look that up!! Mayo

See:

There is a European distribution map for the pest here, you may need to click on "Distribution" on the left side of the page if this link doesn't go straight to the map:

As you'll see from the map the midge is present in Europe (it's been there for many years) and the map includes The Hague in the Netherlands. This pest primarily goes for early flowering daylilies.
