"Wild Green Yonder" for #ThickTrunkTuesday

The evergreen oaks of Southern California have been a favorite photography subject of mine for a long time. This beautiful specimen is a Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) at Hollenbeck Canyon near Jamul in San Diego County.

a #tree i saw yesterday

Photographed over a dozen galls yesterday to kick off Gall Week. Here's one made by the cynipid wasp, Andricus nigricens. Each little lobe has a single wasp larva, and sometime in the fall they drop off onto the ground. #gall #galls #GallWeek #GallWeek2024 #biology #plants #nature #quercus #oak https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/240567699

Oak pea gall made by the cynipid wasp, Acraspis pezomachoides. I'm tempted to collect some of these and rear them for winter entertainment. Full of females (wingless or brachypterous) because this is the gall of the agamic generation. I have no idea what the sexual-phase one looks like. Gall wasps are so strange. #wasps #insects #cynipidae #hymenoptera #oak #galls #quercus #trees #nature #entomology

Cross section of a larger empty oak apple gall (Amphibolips quercusinanis). The central mass is where the wasp larva resides, orchestrating the growth of the gall and redirecting resources to support the tissues it grazes on. #wasp #Cynipidae #Hymenoptera #gall #insect #entomology #nature #photography #oak #Quercus
