Captured in quick moving murky water moving from the flooded areas back into the river via a small channel.

On Quercus rubra. Developing gall on the left, and I think the swelling in the cap at right is where a gall is about to burst out.

The pair came by together tonight

On landscaping boulder outside a Popeyes. Location approximate.

On Quercus bicolor

On Quercus alba

very cool, only found on 2 plants in a large patch

Emerged from gall (with help after it made no progress overnight)
Fairly sure this is actually the adult for the marcrocarpae gall

I'm thinking this was a very stunted Amphibolips quercusinanis gall, unless someone has a better idea...

Fruit being eaten by fox squirrel

I am not sure what the insect on it is, but it seems to be depositing something inside the already existing gall.
