It's GALL WEEK!!!

Here's a gall on a wild strawberry caused by a (likely undescribed) gall wasp species in the genus Diastrophus. The gall even started growing roots! Found in the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Post your gall pics and join the project on iNaturalist. Get your gall on!!

Well would you look at that - it's the gall of the Rose Root Gall Wasp (Diplolepis radicum). Despite their size and color these galls are hard to find given their position low on the stem and often covered by woodland detritus.

I've been on the look out for these for a few years now and, thanks to whoever mowed along the railroad tracks, a few galls were readily visible. Made a nice unexpected find.

Manitoba, Canada
