Couple of galls from Northaw Great Wood today. Janetia cerris on leaf of Turkey Oak, a gall midge. The other rather stunning gall in the stem of a Hornbeam is rather spectacular (unknown causer). #galls

Could this be Andricus gemmeus f. agamic, on oak?

More than meets the eye
A Robin's Pincushion (Bedeguar Gall) isn't just a home for the wasp larvae that caused the gall to form, it is a thriving miniature ecosystem: www.naturespot.org/node/268245

What I think are galls of Didymomyia tiliacea, what else but the Lime Gall Midge on Common Lime at Anglesey Abbey #Cambridge this afternoon. At the stage where the single larva in each gall has fallen out to pupate on the ground.
