Thanks for taking the time to document these, Lisa, this is only the 10th gall wasp on the site and they are so cool to learn about. Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks, ferdy! I just got confirmation on BugGuide that this is on a hickory host, so this turns out to be Phylloxera spinosa. It would be much appreciated if you could edit the species name! Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

    No problem, done. I did struggle to write the species' summary, should you have a more accessible and educational text, I'm all ears :) Posted 7 years ago

      I've been a bit overwhelmed lately, but I plan on going back and adding more details to my recent posts. Thanks for your patience. :) Posted 7 years ago

        No worries, take all the time your need! Note that I was referring to the species text (top right block), not the text of your individual posts. Posted 7 years ago
