Gall Favorites

Please enjoy a small selection of my favorite gall pictures. Click on any of the links for more photos or information about a particular species. Note that all IDs are for the insects that induce the galls; the photos simply showcase their diminutive homes. If you are looking for something specific or you just want to view more fantastic gall pictures, I invite you to browse through the rest of the plant galls image library. Cheers!
