Wow thanks orbea. You have gone through all my spottings and identified the galls... really appreciate that! Such an interesting organism. Such interesting and diverse shapes.
you and Leuba have got me looking for galls now! I remember seeing a lot in India on certain trees...
So different. Very interesting for galls! I'll just have to read more on these and how they make them.
