My initial thought was "moldy blueberries" but that's not what it is. Some kind of gall, I guess.
Anyone knows what this is? I'm not sure, but the plant it was on might have been a Chokeberry or small Chokecherry.

More pics - This is your on drugs. The chemically induced distortion started with a wasp laying eggs and progressed though weirdness. Like a mushroom and some popcorn decided to see how sh*tfaced they could get and then make babies. It's really pretty fascinating, there's even a British plant society britishplantgallsociety.org/

Heuer die ja noch passiver mitbekommend als sonst, aber die Zusammenfassungen, von dem, was da manche mit zwei Beinen in der Lage sind zu fahren, ist jeden Abend ein Genuss.

und einfach Wahnsinn.

Dass heuer so gut dabei ist und heute im Bergtrikot fuhr, auch nicht schlecht.

Ob morgen den Rekord einstellt? Es ist ihm zu wünschen.

One more I found was this Willow Pinecone Gall Midge (Rabdophaga strobiloides)

What's that on the maple leaf? 🧐
Found it this morning.
I had no idea, my first thought was that it was a fungus - but a search revealed these spots to be Maple Eye Galls caused by the Ocellate Gall Midge. 😮

It's finally time for me!

Little cause disturbances in the leaf tissue when laying their eggs. These formations then form around the egg, keeping it safe while the young wasp feeds and matures.

Aren't they clever to have found a way to keep their eggs safe?

From my reading, birds and possum like to eat these little wasps that live off of these oaks. I also learned that the larvae have no anuses!?!?!?! 😱

But the real catch of the day was this on a caven thorn tree. I don't see it identified anywhere.

And when we stopped working for free, waiting on them — hand and foot, day and night — while they sat on their pallid, privileged asses, they called us “lazy.”

Lawdy, Miss Clawdy, they said we wasn’t hittin’ a lick at a snake.

arboretum walk...the ice had glazed a lot of stuff, including these grasses i'm not sure how to ID. one of them has an insect gall of some sort. also not certain when these emerge--whether it's already gone or incubating over the winter 🐛

Greg Froelich found the same gall near Fresno, California. So I'll be tracking its ID fate on . inaturalist.org/observations/1

Here's a bizarro gall I found last week on western juniper. Length was ~3 mm. I have no idea what makes it (a fly?). Prineville, Oregon (USA).

Today’s photo features two different insects. The delicate white flowers in front of the butterfly are actually cypress flower gall midges (Taxodiomyia cupressi). Female midges lay their eggs on newly developing cypress needles, and their maggots feed and cause the needle to form a small, white, flower-like gall inside of which the maggot develops. I think these galls are quite lovely and see them on several of the young trees in my yard.
