I went through the UID galls and noticed this one that might be from a similar area

Evan, do you think mine might be the same?

As I remember it, when I first saw them about a month ago they seemed peachier, but I am not sure they were streaked like yours.

Not the same

Location of the gall on the plant is important, and Disholcaspis galls (like yours) are attached to twigs, whereas Even's are attached to the leaves.

I don't know Arizona oaks well, and would have to know what species of "scrub oak" this is to look up the gall.

Looks similar. They could be

Looks similar, but I wouldn't call them equivalent--if either of ours had an ID, they might be a good identification starting point for the other. There were a ton of galls at this site, all looking identical to mine.

Thank you. May I link mine to yours? I have not seen many here but will be "on the lookout" now. I am not good at identifying wasps and am not sure I have seen any of the Genus you referred to at my sheet.

I'm not sure what you mean by link--feel free to make a connection on this site using the [thumb:] method. What genus are you thinking of?
