Yesterday's fun gall find was Phylloteras sigma (Cynipidae), a rarely-photographed beauty with no common name. iNaturalist observations are mainly in PA, DE, MD, VA, and DC but BugGuide lists NY, too. Reported on both Quercus alba and Q. muehlenbergii. Little Crum Creek Park, Swarthmore, PA. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #cynipidae #oaks #quercus #entomology #nature #gallformers

Here’s my first contribution!
This is a “t-distichum-starburst-gall” on our Baldcypress. It is actually an undescribed species! This is the second location I’ve found it in, and the first time at our place. (Edit: I'm not the only observer in Louisiana; I just figured out how to search iNaturalist by observation fields)

It's Fall Gall Week!
Get out there and look for weird bumps or growths on plants, take some pics, and upload to iNaturalist. Oak trees are always good hosts, and asters seem to be having a big gall year, at least where I live.
