I am finding these under what appears to be BlackJack Oaks, not sure if they are some kind of fruit or egg for some bug. They look to have a hole in the middle and something is opening them up, maybe squirrels. It's a new home to us, so I haven't seen them before. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/08/full-63722-195501-blackjack.jpg)
Just like Jesus, sometimes you gotta kill some hogs.

It's just a defect in leaves and twigs. Typically harmless.

Gall wasp larva cause this. Not always. Some are caused by gall wasps but others naturally occur and the gall wasp will impregnated the gall with a larva.

I've never seen one that didn't have the larva inside or a hole where it ate it's way out, so I'm thinking virtually all are from gall wasps. I'm sure there are exceptions to everything in nature though.
