Two types of gall seen in my garden in Endon this week. The first is the familiar Bedeguar Gall on a Dog rose caused by Diplolepis rosae ( a wasp) and the second is (according to Wikipedia) Hawthorn Button-Top Gall caused by a midge Dasineura crataegi.
The female wasp lays her eggs on the leaf bud.
