this crazy creature pooped-up in our neighborhood recently and has been the subject of intrigue for this blogger...WTHIT??? As one can see from the first photo, "it" appears to be "growing" from or on a tiny twig/limb of this here tree. The HOT PINK polkie-dots let me know that it is probably toxic, not that it looks appetizing mind you. If any of you's have seen a similar botanical oddity, please do comment your experience. cheers. ***UPDATE***Shari Wrote and said:"Howdy Ho, There. Your mystery is solved.
This is a parasitic gall, specifically a wool-sower gall. Ye are about to be the proud pappy of gall wasps."
Thanks Shari, That is exciting!
