Galls (Blaesodiplosis sp.) on Shadbush (Amelanchier sp.) Aren&#039;t these galls so pretty?! I spotted it near the end of a long hike and nearly missed it as my one goal was to get back to the car and enjoy air conditioning and heated seats. I&#039;m glad I stopped for the galls though - they were so unusual. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Deciduous forest near a pond<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/79114/galls_blaesodiplosis_sp._on_shadbush_amelanchier_sp.html" title="Galls (Blaesodiplosis sp.) on Shadbush (Amelanchier sp.)"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/79114_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=r1E7%2B6dIaQqWFCjKeDydSaWRCOk%3D" width="200" height="146" alt="Galls (Blaesodiplosis sp.) on Shadbush (Amelanchier sp.)

Galls (Blaesodiplosis sp.) on Shadbush (Amelanchier sp.)

Aren't these galls so pretty?! I spotted it near the end of a long hike and nearly missed it as my one goal was to get back to the car and enjoy air conditioning and heated seats. I'm glad I stopped for the galls though - they were so unusual.
