Ashes and DustIt's the first <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WaspWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaspWednesday</a> of 2025! Let's start the new year off with a gall wasp double-shot.This lovely two-toned lady goes by Disholcaspis quercusmamma, or D.q. mamma for short. Upon becoming an adult in fall, she chews her way out of the gall she's lived in since spring. Being parthenogenic she has no need to mate in order to lay eggs that will be the spring sexual generation.Sadly not all of her kind will make it to adulthood..see next post <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gall</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gallWasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gallWasp</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/wasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wasp</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insect</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hymenoptera</a>

Ashes and DustWell would you look at that - it's the gall of the Rose Root Gall Wasp (Diplolepis radicum). Despite their size and color these galls are hard to find given their position low on the stem and often covered by woodland detritus.I've been on the look out for these for a few years now and, thanks to whoever mowed along the railroad tracks, a few galls were readily visible.

STownsendImagesCherry GallThe cherry gall wasp (scientific name: Cynips quercusfolii) is a tiny gall wasp that causes growths, or ‘galls’, on the undersides of oak leaves. The grub remains in the gall after leaf-fall, emerging as an adult wasp in winter. This asexual generation will lay its eggs on the oak tree trunk, which eventually mature to the sexual generation; this generation mates and produces the more obvious galls. The galls look like red cherries and are about 2cm in diameter. The larvae of the wasp feed on the host tissues but cause little damage. The cherry gall wasp is common and can be found from July to October.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cherrygallwasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cherrygallwasp</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gallwasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gallwasp</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cherrygall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cherrygall</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wasp</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gall</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/waspgall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#waspgall</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gallwasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gallwasp</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/oakleaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oakleaf</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/insectlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insectlife</a>

Martin LiebermannSleeping ThornWhat looks like straight out of a fairy tale, is actually the cradle of the rose gall wasp (Diplolepis rosae). It is known under various names, such as "rose bedeguar gall " or "mossy gall". It often appears as a mossy growth on roses.Here, the "moss" has withered away. Only the galls that protect the wasp grubs, and the holes, from which the adult wasps emerge in Spring, are visible. <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Photomontag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Photomontag</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/CloseUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CloseUp</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/GallWasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GallWasp</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/RoseGall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoseGall</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MossyGall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MossyGall</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/thorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#thorn</a>www.martin-liebermann.de
