Q. phellos. Three bud galls. Sending to Forbes lab.
Q. macrocarpa. Tiny fuzzy globs w/ red/pink markings. Only observed on midrib. These remind me of q-macrocarpa-hairy-glob but much hairier and only observed on midrib. Multiple gall clusters. Sending to Forbes lab.
Q. alba. 21 galls. Sending to Forbes lab. Many, many of these galls on this large tree. Hoping there are lots of interesting parasitoids in these!
Quercus montana. Uncommon host plant on iNat. Four gall clusters. Sending to Forbes lab.
Quercus falcata. This VERY tiny (!!) wasp appeared in container with falcata leaf w/ Polystepha galls and a Ceroptres wasp that appeared to be ovipositing into the Polystepha galls. Sending the wasp to Forbes lab. Gall obs at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/223860182

Quercus falcata. Not sure if this is a gall. Sending to Forbes lab in case it is of interest.
100% certain about this ID. Leaves and fruit match the trees in our yard.
Several present on a Red Oak.
Q. bicolor - I think this is Q. bicolor 'Bonnie & Mike' - columnar form. Multiple galls. Sending to Forbes lab.

On Q. falcata. Wasp on leaf w/ (probably) Polystepha galls. Sending wasp and leaf to Forbes lab. I thought wasp was recently dead b/c not moving but it moved when I tried to pick it up with tweezers. Put into EtOH.
