It looks like a mayfly but I am not certain at all. I was at 1800’ near a pond that barely had water still in it. It is about 6mm long

Tiehm buckwheat, Eriogonum tiehmii, Nevada, Esmeralda County, Silver Peak Range, Rhyolite Ridge, subpopulation 5, Fishlake Valley watershed, elevation 1879 m (6165 ft).
One of three plants observed re-sprouting from damaged rootstocks at subpopulation 5 under continued severe drought conditions in May 2021, following a massive herbivory event that impacted the species in late 2020.
This subpopulation was thought to have been completely lost after the 2020 event, when no live above-ground plant parts could be found in it.
It turns out that the underground rootstocks of this species may be its "superpower," enabling it to store enough resources to support regeneration even under severe drought and/or damage conditions (assuming such conditions don't last for too many years in a row). This may also explain why the near-surface portions of the rootstocks would have been attractive to local herbivore populations trying to survive under the drought and heat conditions in late 2020.

Looking to identify the midge, not necessarily the gall (if by some coincidence it is not the gall maker). I'm assuming it is Rabdophaga rigidaesince since it appeared to be emerging from the tip of the gall. I don't know enough about the biology of the willow beaked gall midge, do they emerge from the "beak" of the gall?
