That is some infestation and they seem to set a pattern.

Superb pic of more of the bizarre botanical life that is so prominent in your neck of the woods, Andrea. The silk buttons are aptly named, and the leaf itself seems like something brought up from deep in the ocean.

Amazing. I have never seen these. Such a great shot, but Sir David Frederick Attenborough would be rolling over in his grave (if he weren't so alive!!!!!!!!) if he saw that background filter in this beautiful natural scene!

New to me. They certainly are prolific. I see a web on the right. Do the spiders feast on these? An amazing shot but now I have this overwhelming urge to eat a bowl of Cheerios.

We have galls over here but I have not seen such heavy concentrations like this. A super photo Andrea and also unique shapes of these galls!
