Creosote gall - Asphondylia auripila

Creosote gall - Asphondylia auripila
Tu, Pima County, Arizona, USA
March 11, 2009
This is what I imagine is an old gall, on the stem of a creosote bush. Imaged with a Canon PowerShot SD1000 (Elph). These are common, even in my residential midtown Tucson neighborhood.
