Mr.Whiskers was interested in the outdoors today. It wasn't terribly cold for a change. He was shocked to find the orange cat right up at the screen on the catio. What gall! It was HIS catio! She looked at him curiously, hoping he'd be friendly, but he wasn't thrilled with her boldness. Bah! Girls were so weird. It was too much work to fend her off, so he went back in and sulked.</p>

He ranted and tried to light up my mister piece but at my request was banned from entering the hallowed spaces of galleries theatres parks and other such spaces needing no mention right now. It was pretty and ugly too.

Ian Rose<p>More than just leaves fall in the Fall. I came across these chonky wasp galls on a fallen oak leaf on my walk yesterday.

Old walkerThree rose bedeguar galls on a dog rose, on the South Downs Way, near Cheriton, Hampshire, England. September 2024. A gall wasp (Diplolepis rosae) causes this kind of deformity in which to grow its grubs that hatch from eggs.

Colin Purrington<p>Gall of Asteromyia carbonifera (Cecidomyiidae) on goldenrod. The gall is made by a fungus, Botryosphaeria dothidea, which creates a hard, internal pocket (stroma) that makes it difficult for parasitoids such as Torymus capite (Chalcidoidea) to find the larvae inside. Female midges collect conidia of this fungal species and store them in special pockets (mycangia) on their ovipositors. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/fly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fly</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/diptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diptera</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macro</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fungi</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/mutualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mutualism</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gall</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/galls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>galls</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/GallWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GallWeek</span></a></p>
