The midge, Resseliella lavandulae is an insect subservient to lavanderaies. The adult emerges from the ground in winter to reproduce, then dies quickly. Females lay their eggs in anfractuosities of bark of branches. These white and pink-orange larvae are responsible for the drying of the attacked branches (silver aspect). Emerging traps often built with drums, allow to capture the adults as soon as they leave the ground.
