Hi Sarah, I've found this too (also on S. caprea) and came to the same conclusion (tho it doesn't look much like the pictures in Stubbs or Redfern et al) ...
Hi Malcolm Any idea what the weevil was? Melanapion minimum (small, black, seed-weevil) is a rare old thing (RDB3) that is known to feed on Pontania spp....
Hi This gall is very variable in form and the image given by Malcolm is typical of fresh galls I have seen. The galls are very common and often abundant....
Hi, everyone, I agree with David - the gall supposedly caused by a virus is very variable depending, I think, on the stage of development of the catkin when it...
I am not sure whether 'Witches Broom' is a gall or not, if not then my apologies. I have been trying to find out if there is a definitive cause but an internet...
Richard, Some witches' brooms are certainly galls, caused by fungi or, in this case, possibly by a virus. See p.219 and Fig.3 in British Plant Galls. As the...
Thanks Margaret, I have your book but I hadn't noted page 219, sorry. I had considered plate 8.2 though but thought that didn't look the same as my "Witch's...
No, not N. tricolor. This is a common spangle of Neuroterus quercusbaccarum. The ckusters of hairs give it away immediately. As it is still stuck on the leaf, ...
I agree with Margaret that this is Nqb and not N. tricolor, although given the colour of the gall I think might still be ok. The peduncle that attaches the...
Thanks to you both. N. tricolor seemed a bit suspicious for the time of year, or too good to be true. I seem to have mislaid the leaf so have not been able to ...
Hello Jerry The Common Spangle had a bit of a rough ride last year with very few recorded. There appears to be more this year in my area (Surrey/V17) but...
Mr Milner could extract the information by going through the keys (British Plant Galls) and checking in a flora for native host species. A bit of a bore but it...
Dear Margaret, That's just what I told him! I couldn't think of anything else. Thank you for the confirmation. http://www.searchgamesbox.com/tvtown.shtml...
Hello Janet I have a draft excell list of gall causers affecting the genus Quercus if it is any use to this chap (or anyone else). It is attached or in files. ...
Thank you Scotty for the list which I have passed on to Edward. He has sent me some photos for id. Can anyone help with this one on Hornbeam? Janet> Date: Mon,...
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...
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...
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. ...
Thank you Keith. I will certainly take up your offer in the summer. ...... he said, presuming the summer will be 'normal'. Alan ... would be worth checking out...
Hi everyone, I have just moved a message from my junk folder to my inbox and it has disappeared - it's not in my deleted messages folder either so I don't...
Hi Jan, If he's a member, then perhaps Alan will have his contact info. 'bye for now, Maggie ... From: Janet Boyd To: British Plant Gall group Sent: Wednesday,...
Janet I have sent a message to Charles via the e-mail form on the NBN Recorder Discussion Forum requesting him to re-make contact with you. Hope that helps. ...
Thanks to everyone who responded to my request re the missing message. Contact has been established. Charles seemed to find it amusing that my junk filter...
