Thanks martinl. Have I added the ident correctly please?
These galls appear to open like a flower when the creature matures so it can escape. My theory is a coccid bug (Hemipteran) and there are, of course many species. I have spotted one here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/831... The parasitic wasp is a bonus =)
