Gall on Galium aparine   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #262 of 816 |
I have posted two images in the 'aesculus' photo album that I had
presumed to be Aculus anthobius galls on Galium aparine.

But I understand that an amendment to 'British Plant Galls' has
disassociated A. anthobius from G. aparine.
Can anyone advise what the images might be of?
Whatever they are, they occur annually in July on galium aparine
growing through a Hawthorn hedge in East Lincs.
TIA

Alan Dale

Hi Alan, I would think that is Dasineura aparines. I have found similar ones with gall-midge larvae inside. A anthobius gall would have mites. Cheers Carl...

Thanks Carl. It was your website comment that triggered my doubts. :-) Glad to see that you have picked up where your Skye diary left off. I like the format. ...

Alan Your photographs are typical of Dasineura aparines galls but it would be worth checking out the identity of the larvae as I once found Contarinia larvae...
