Aglaostigma aucupariae

This species is supposed to be associated with bedstraws but so far I've only found it on other plants. The first few were all on White Dead-nettle.

There were three together on this Garlic Mustard - 2 on the top of the leaf (with a fly in the first photo) and one hidden below. I'm not sure if the one I retained for ID is the same as one of the two in the first photos or not.
