  1. Some galls are really wild. This one is from Cedar-Hawthorn Rust, a fungal disease that alternates between cedar and hawthorn hosts.

    This is it on Black Hawthorn, looking like tiny growths of Spanish Moss emerging from the leaf

  5. Happen to walk past an Oak Tree a few days ago that was just loaded with Hedgehog Galls. I usually have to look it over carefully to spot any. This year there are multiple Galls on most every if not all leaves😮

    The inside pics were taken years ago and weren't all that well focused...

  9. Went to a nearby park to photograph my favorite oak gall (Phylloteras sigma), and somebody had pruned all the lower branches so I can no longer reach them. #galls #oaks

  15. Well. Time flies.. Anyway. Over a year later the #oak #galls dried nicely so the little Hobbit and I started the #ink making process.

    First the ingredients. We're using a simple recipe and I base it on using 10 grams of galls.

    1 - 4 grams of Iron(II) sulfate
    2 - 4 grams of Gum arabic
    3 - 30ml of water (from our well, boiled, no chemicals)
    4 - 10grams of oak gall

  19. These colorful lesions were originally thought to be just fungal infections (Botryosphaeria dothidea) but were eventually found to harbor midge larvae (Asteromyia carbonifera) that farm the fungi for food and use the hardened hyphae to prevent (sometimes) parasitic wasps from ovipositing into the gall. In turn, emerging female flies dutifully transmit spores to new plants each generation. #goldenrod #fly #diptera #fungus #fungi #mutualism #gall #galls #solidago #cecidomyiidae #insects #entomology

  31. 14/09/2025 - A sunny day out. Slow stroll looking at trees and bugs. Aberdeenshire was looking lovely today in the September sunshine. Two new things I've not come across before, both on the same oak tree, oak artichoke galls and a little larch ladybird.

  35. Found some banded bullet galls (Kokkocynips imbricariae) yesterday. I also found a dollar near the tree. It was a good day. Media, PA, USA. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #wasps #cynipidae #insects #entomology #oaks #quercus
