Woolly Oak Gall - Callirhytis lanata
Fuzzy, dingy cream-colored, detachable galls on the leaves of oak (Quercus sp.). The galls drop off the leaves in October, and the adults emerge in the second, third, or fourth spring.
Habitat: Oak saplings in a meadow. They always have galls on them, yet the trees continue to slowly grow.
