Unfortunately, I had to do some pruning, so I couldn't save these beautiful #galls. #Bedeguar galls, chemically induced by Diplolepis rosae on #roses, built a complex community of #insects and even #fungi. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplolepis_rosae

The wasp needs no males for reproduction: the females use #Parthogenesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

Each culture has own #myths and #folklore names for these galls. Do you know any?
