Oak Apple

Wasp gall, or Oak Apple. The largest one I have seen (approx 3.5 cm diam) in our wood, and looking very much like an apple.

Jeez, that's a bigun! Are'nt they usually about the size of an acorn?

Yup all the rest in the tree are acorn size. I am watching this one carefully to try and capture the wasp if it emerges?

Cracking shot and well spotted. Very Happy

The wasp is very very small so you might have a job photographing it. Surprised
