wow, never seen those !!
found some info here: http://www.bladmineerders.nl/gallen/hymenoptera/andricus/quercuscalicis/quercuscalicis.htm
I NEVER would have guessed what that was. Thanks for the info and fine photo.
Wow!
Great info and a super shot Andrea.
Nicely composed. I learned something new today. :) Well done.
That's a great shot full of detail,
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
A wonderful capture, nicely detailed and lovely colours, these pieces are better than some slr macro lens work I have seen, great quality.
Wow that is hard to believe very interesting specimens here.
Very Interesting! I would not have guessed that. Thanks for the info and image.
That is so WILD looking!
Always interesting Andrea!!
Superb shot and very instructive info. Nature is always so interesting and manifoldly.
Superb shot
You do manage to find the most interesting things! Wonderful shot!
Very nice capture Andrea.
What a great macro shot of these strange and alien looking "things". As someone else has written, "You learn something new everyday".
Fantastic how Nature finds out new ways to make life. Thanks also to Juliette for the link. Very interesting.
Great find.
What I see is absolutely galling. There is an acorn to the left, and two rather cadaverous red bell peppers astride lovely green leaves in the center.
If it weren't for you and your attention to botanical details, I never would have known about galls. SO interesting!
super cool looking
Very strange and beautiful Cool capture
A fine shot of these interesting galls.There is always something more to learn.
This is an amazing capture Andrea. It is so different than any of the galls that I have seen in my lifetime. The acorn gives wonderful perspective and as ugly as these galls are - they are of beautiful and interesting! :)
