Description
On one leaf.
My front garden is either fast becoming an 'inviolate woodland', as the forestry commission names protected broadleaf areas, or is rather neglected, according to how the viewer feels about tidiness.
So there are rather too many native saplings which need removing before they become much bigger. There are oak, beech, willow, birch and lime and probably others I haven't noticed yet.
Each have their attendant insects and galls, and these are on a small oak next to the path.
The Silk Button Spangles can be seen alone Here and the Common Spangle galls Here

Curiouser and curiouser cried Alice.... Extremely cool Andrea!!
This is sure something i have never seen before but very interesting stuff.
Superb! I am still completely baffled about these "Galls". I will wiki it in a bit :)
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
WOW! Even such things are so beautiful. Superb capture, Andrea.!
Some kind of fungus? Cool shot!
Such a colourful combo on a single leaf. Great find and capture!
Nice postwork on that picture
Great capture! :)
Oh, so happy to see that you finally used your Tizzy18 on some subject matter, A. Spectacular array of colorful patterns and textures in this marvo macro. Kind of reminds me of pomegranate seeds.
The silk spangles look a bit like blood cells. You should have swarms of them unless the birds get to them.
looks like a collection of red and white blood cells on a green slide Great capture
So interesting! I never see these things, but then I rarely look. Your world is a fascinating place!
Flip, amazing!!!
Natures jewels,
Nature's confetti! Wonderful find!
A fantastic capture Andrea and beautiful results and links to FlickR!
Beautiful. Really beautiful... I'm not sure the leaf, or the plant, is very happy to give hospitaity of such a number of guests... but the effect is beautiful :-)
