Have just uploaded two photos to the photos area (in Album: Malcolm) On Quercus robur, 6 Sept 08. No sign of any acorn, but it was growing on a short twig such...
Hi Malcolm, you are correct that's A. grossulariae. Intriguingly it looks as if they developed from a dormant bud from last year? Cheers Karsten ... Have just...
Have uploaded a couple more oak galls. First seems to be Cynips disticha, except it's less knobbly and hasn't got the depressed apex, but it does have two...
Oh! I found the recent Norfolk colonist Andricus aries today, still rare, I found and old one in spring, today I re found the Oak and found three! ... From:...
Hi Malcolm, I haven't looked at the photos, but by your description I suspect it could be a C. divisa gall (smooth and no depression) that was attacked by...
Dear all, I hope some of you can help me with this. I uploaded 2 files to the files-section (Salix-01A.jpg + Salix-02A.jpg). Two weeks ago I spotted these two...
Hi Karsten, You may be right. Now I look closely at the larval remains in the photo (it got squashed by the razor blade) there's a smaller larva on top of it...
Hi Floris, Don't think anybody replied to this. The photos look like uredia of the rust Melampsora caprearum (or possibly M. epitea - need a microscope and...

Hi everyone, The attached photo does look like the description of Campiglossa argyrocephala as Quentin Groom suggests. The Keys say that it is found in...
Hi Janet, I'm not sure about this - may be a gall midge Rhopalomyia ptarmicae. It needs to be opened to see what type of larvae are inside. If it is a gall...
Hi all  I agree with Margaret the galls need to be examined. The picture does not look like mature galls of  Rhopalomyia ptarmicae but could be early...
Hi Margaret, Re the Achillea gall - I will try to put Kate in contact with David Savage who says he can visit the site - I don't think she has kept any...

Hi Jan, Thamks for doing this and for contacting Penny - I'm sure she appreciates it. One good gall to look out for is Aceria fraxinovora clusters on ash,...
It may seem odd coming from me, but could anyone bring me up to date with which VCs or counties Andricus grossulariae has been recorded from so far? Records...

Returning from a Fungus Foray this afternoon, I noticed prominent galls on leaves of a non-native Acer planted around the cricket pitch at Clumber Park, Notts....
Hi Jerry, I found Vasates quadripes on Acer saccharinum on 9.9.2007, at our local Knighton Park, Leicester. There are three photos in "Maggie's galls". Are...
Thanks very much Maggie. The pictures are a great help: not only for the galls, but also to check the leaf. Definitely Vasates on Acer saccharinum. I will try...
Thanks very much, Robert. I spoke to Rex Hancey yesterday and he said it had reached the very northern part of Norfolk now and Maggie may have found it near...
I would much appreciate some help with a few recurring species names on a batch of records I am working on from 1998. They don't match with the mapmate...
