I posted a few days ago about making ink from oak galls and came to realize some people had no idea what a gall is. I found quite a few on my walk today so thought I’d share. Galls ate formed when an insect, in this case a wasp, lays an egg in a plant—usually in a twig. The plant responds by creating a casing around the intrusion, giving shelter and food to the larva. The wasp bores a single hole to escape and by the time we find them they are usually empty and dried up. This is a hood time of year to find them as they get blown off branches, etc. do be aware that other insects, eggs, etc. may be inside if you bring them home. #capecod #oak #oakgall #wasp #nature #plant #getoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfgy26nsH4/?igshid=o2q0oym4393m

Very late posting today for reasons that mainly escape me, even though I've been stuck indoors for the last two days avoiding the rain. Anyway, this is an oak gall I photographed in the middle of last week in the fog, looking for all the world like the sort of reference image that Tony Roberts might have used back when he was a science fiction illustrator. ______ #today #diary #calendar #photooftheday #lockdownproject #nature #flora #woodland #woodlandphotography #oak #gall #oakgall #fog #scifi #reference #surrey #uk #panasonic #lumixg80 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlRhetHAa3/?igshid=ksh9j9a833r2

Spotted an Oak marble on a chilly walk yesterday. These are made by Gall wasps. Looks like the little creature has already departed into adulthood. #gallwasp #gallwasps #oakmarblegall #oakgall #oaktree #oak #oaktrees #wasp #wasps #insect #insects #insects_of_our_world #insectsofinstagram #naturephotography #nature #natureblogger #naturefacts #natureuk #insectsarecool https://www.instagram.com/p/B62ybIQHs2V/?igshid=dnop528y1qie

Jeszcze jedna ciekawostka z niedzielnego spaceru, pewnie większości znana, ale na wypadek, gdyby ktoś nie wiedział, co to takiego, informuję, że tak wyglądają galasy na liściu dębu szypułkowego (Quercus robur). Galasy tworzone są przez galasówki - niewielkie błonkówki z rodziny (kto by pomyślał?) galasówkowatych 😁 Te akurat to robota galasówki dębianki (Cynips quercusfolii). Każdy galas stanowi magazyn żywności dla rozwijającej się larwy. Dorosły owad składając jajo do tkanki roślinnej, równocześnie powoduje, że roślina pod wpływem fitohormonów u niektórych gatunków zostawionych przez dorosłego owada, częściej wydzielanych przez larwę, sama produkuje taką narośl. Wewnętrzna warstwa galasa zawiera białka tłuszcze i cukry, wszystko według potrzeb i upodobań larwy. Bardzo to IMHO sprytne. Kiedyś z galasów produkowano atrament. #galasówkadębianka #горіхотворка #орехотворка #oakgall #cynipsquercusfolii https://www.instagram.com/p/B4E2yeKhQPh/?igshid=p0ka0x6sojp1

Still playing multiple characters in short bursts rather than grinding on just one. Somany is working her way through quests in Minas Morgul. Knarlie is still wandering around in Enedwaith (and likely will be for some time). My boxed pair of Zraven and Oakgall are dashing around questing in Ered Luin, and today reached level 15 and got matching surnames. I’m looking forward to when Oakgall starts getting his hunter guide skills.

Oak apple galls. I was lucky enough to see them close up. #galls #oakgalls #oak #oaktree #quercus #quercusrobur #englishoak #nature #tree #oakapplegall (at Exeter, Devon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxkekwB9rm/?igshid=1c3ir8n6rebz8

Boiling up oak galls - the first step in preparing yarn for dyeing with the solar-cooked concoction in the kilner jar.

When you spend months failing to identify this weird little miniature-apple-looking fruit you keep finding in the dirt, far away from any tree that ought to be making apple-looking fruit.... ...of course there's a gall wasp involved 🤣 So I am working on the Lucky Maggot Ball charms, which are the product of gall fly larvae infesting goldenrod stems. But these are so darn cute, I want to make something out of them too even though I haven't heard of any particular folklore around oak apple galls before. I guess I just need to hang out with one for a while and see what it has to say. #oakgalls #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #witchgarden #seraphinstation #bigluckyhoodoo #rootworkersofinstagram #magicalherbs #foraging #plantidentification #oops https://www.instagram.com/p/Cii-XqXPvom/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
