hello we have an oak near where we live with these on it;  I've heard of leaf galls, would it be them? Don't know much about them, are they likely to hurt the tree? Many thanks |

oohh,how strange, never knew that about wasps. Nice to see nature working in partnership, but hope we don't get a sudden plague of wasps in the kitchen! I'll have to see how many there are  |

I don't think it's the same sort of wasp Jonah, not the nasty vicious stripy b***ers!

How silly do I feel!  It would be pushing my wasp phobia too far if I got scared of those.... ;D |

Or that you thought that the big stripey ones lived in those tiny balls! There would only be room for a couple!!! ;D

We always called them Oak Apples & they were much in demand in my just post war childhood for marbles. I still collect them, how sad can you get?

Ooh not sad at all GertrudeJ! Seeing as I am a fellow marble collector I may have to take a closer look! And thank you for drawing further attantion to my, shall we say, naivety, SS! |
