These galls are produced by tiny Cynipid wasps, which go through a complicated life cycle involving two stages of development. In June, a generation of male and female wasps hatch from currant galls. The adults mate and the female lays fertilized eggs on the undersides of  oak leaves. These cause the creation of the spangle galls, in which the grub matures. The spangle galls fall from the leaves in September and the wasp continues to grow within the leaf litter, producing a female-only generation in the following spring.

Baby sun rose, heart-leaf iceplant, rock rose, dew plant, noon flower, red apple, ice plant (Aptenia cordifolia), is a species of succulent plant in the iceplant family (Aizoaceae), belonging to the order Caryophyllales.
Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) infestation on underside of eastern hemlock branch in Connecticut. This tiny sapsucking insect from Asia, discovered in Virginia in 1951, is a major killer of eastern hemlocks, which are vitally important to Northeastern forest ecosystems. HWA is named for its woolly egg masses. Thanks to introduction of the Japanese ladybeetle, a predator of HWA, many hemlocks in Connecticut have survived since the first waves of tree mortality some 35 years ago.

A single fruit capsule of a Coliguay Tree (Colliguaja odorifera) in late winter in central Chile, near the capital Santiago.  The developing fruit has been invaded by the tiny Chalcid wasp, Aprostocetus colliguayae, that has caused a swollen gall to develop and protect the growing wasp larvae, effectively sterilising the fruit capsule of the Coliguay plant.

A single fruit capsule of a Coliguay Tree (Colliguaja odorifera) in early spring in central Chile, near the capital Santiago.  When the 3-lobed fruit capsule ripens and dries on a hot day, the seeds are thrown several metres away. The species is a type of spurge (Euphorbid) and, like many spurges, has many uses in medicine and poisons. The milky sap can ‘burn’ the skin, and is used in folk medicine for pains and toothache (without swallowing it because it is toxic), as well as to treat corns and warts. In the past, it was used to poison arrowheads used by the aboriginal Mapuche peoples.

Squash preparation of  onion root tip cells stained to reveal chromosomes,  Bright field illumination, light microscopy.  This image was taken with the X40 objective lens.  Depth of focus is extremely low at this magnification.  Smaller apertures give greater depth of focus, but image quality deteriorates and resolution is greatly reduced.  The aperture in this image was optimised for contrast and resolution. Chromatic abberation is inevitable in light microscopy, but has been kept to a minimum in this image.
