Dear all
I am new to this group and am about to start a PhD project involving
Cynipid gall wasps and oak trees. During some preliminary work this
year I have encountered a few galls that I am unsure of, and was
hoping that someone might be able to help. I have posted some images
in a photo album called "Frazers". Any suggestions on what galls they
might be would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Frazer
