This morning I go out to find this all over plants. Whatever it is it must of just hatched a million of them.

I don't know your bug, but JRsbugs can probably tell you. She spends alot of time in the plant ID forum...or just Tree-mail her.

It's a fly, either in the family Tephritidae or it could be a different family such as Ulidiidae.

Thank you Janet - This is a new one to us and it's all over the dl's like something out of a science fiction movie.

Some are beneficial, others may be damaging. Some target weeds, they could be damaging to your daylilies but they might not, it depends on the species and what they breed on. It seems strange if you have a lot of them, that indicates to me a newly hatched batch. If they bred on your daylilies last year I would have thought you had noticed damage, it could be they have bred on something else nearby. They normally don't do much if any damage.
