on Oak.
They house the larvae of the asexual generation of the gall wasp Neuroterus quercusbaccarum.
I have never seen so many red hairs on them before!

GREAT CAPTURE
What a great find! Such a great abstract too!
amazing
What hath God wrought. Outstanding capture of botanical items I'd never seen or heard of before, Andrea. Love the colors and texture.
So many. What a great shot my friend.
never heard of them either, but it looks cool Great capture
Wow! I wouldn't know what I was seeing if I saw these out there in the wild; amazing the varieties nature gives us. Spectacular find and capture, Andrea!
Great find and well captured!
I have seen things similar to this before and have wondered what it was.Now,I know.Thanks.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
I have both of my Bur Oaks covered in galls but they look quite different from yours. My trees seem to be collecting different bad things. :(
Fascinating. I never would have guessed these were wasp larvae. I would have thought they were some sort of plant parasite. I always learn something in this gallery.
Lots of detail in zoom. Nice shot Andrea.
They may be common to someone but I've never seen this type before, great shot.
Wow, that was a good find!!
This sure is something i have not seen awesome shot girl.
Superb pic.
Hope that is a good thing. Excellent macro, Andrea :)
they look like little treats... a bit amazing find!!
A fantastic macro photo not only for the hairy galls but also for the spectacular veining in the leaf.
