Andricus coriarius? (fam. Cynipidae)

[ES] Por si la agalla en sí no fuera lo bastante curiosa, enicma tiene esas pústulas rojizas, supongo que de algún hongo. Encontrada sobre un rebollo (Quercus pyrenaica).

[EN] The form of this gall captured my attention and then I saw the curious red scabs on its surface, maybe from a fungus? Found in an oak (Quercus pyrenaica).

Found an interesting looking Oak Gall today, possibly Dyer's Gall Andricus infectorius. It is the elongated sphere with bumpy bits. The gall alongside is Ram's-horn Gall.

First found in Britain in 2012, but not recognised until later. Can be easily confused with Marble Gall.

This was not what I was expecting to emerge from the #Andricus quercuspetiolicola #gall I collected this summer. Instead of a gall #wasp I got a #fly with lots of dorsal body scales and very hairy wings! I suspect it's a #Cecidomyiidae or similar. Perhaps a secondary resident of the gall? #insects #FaunaOfManitoba #diptera
