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

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

One thing you learn very quickly when photographing oak galls is that bald-faced hornets are huge gall fans, too. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #cynipidae #oaks #nectar #wasps #insects #biology #hymentopera #hornets

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.
