Spangle Galls - Defining Beauty! - a photo on Flickriver

            "Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting."   (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Macro photography is an amazing way of seeing so much of this world's hidden beauty - like these "Spangle Galls" on an oak leaf!

These amazing galls are created by the tiny Common Spangle Gall Wasp is a tiny wasp, Neuropterus quercusbaccarum, in early autumn. The wasp is common and widespread, and a single leaf can host up to 100 galls, each containing a single larva. The galls fall to the ground and can be seen around oak trees during autumn. The larvae continue to develop through the winter, and emerge as adults in April.
