Cover illustration . Mayetiola destructor is a major pest of wheat in Europe, North Africa and North America. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology, Schneeberg et al. (pp. 1299–1311 ) investigate the adult head structures of the cecidomyiid fly and compared their findings with evolutionarily less successful families within Bibionomorpha. The cover image shows a histological cross section of the head of Mayetiola destructor (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae).
