Galls of Cynipid Wasp - Dryocosmus rileyi Unusual and interesting galls that I found on red oak along the edge of a small, woodland meadow. The galls will drop off the leaves in October, leaving scars behind. <br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/63291/galls_of_cynipid_wasp_-_dryocosmus_rileyikokkocynips_rileyi.html" title="Galls of Cynipid Wasp - Dryocosmus rileyi/Kokkocynips rileyi"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/63291_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=TDV1%2B3BON6x589vnZiyVHpXxY0g%3D" width="200" height="160" alt="Galls of Cynipid Wasp - Dryocosmus rileyi/Kokkocynips rileyi Unusual and interesting galls that I found on red oak along the edge of a small, woodland meadow.
