Bagworm on an oak - Andricus quercusfoliatus
Jensen Beach, Martin County, Florida, USA
April 11, 2013
This was found on a Sand Live Oak (Quercus geminata) in a scrubby flat woods area. Believe the ID to be Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis.

Quercus geminata, actually
Since it sounds like you're the sort to appreciate extra info, I'll tweak the name of the tree -- sand live oak, to my knowledge, is Q. geminata. Maybe you got nabbed by an autocorrect. :) Thanks for the nice picture of the Andricus!

Thanks
Q. germinata it is - it did autocorrect and I didn't catch it. I know it was an autocorrect cause it did it again when I typed this response. Thanks for spotting.

Sure. Sorry for the thread ne
Sure. Sorry for the thread necromancy. :) And actually, it's GEM-inata, without the R -- that's probably what's throwing autocorrect off.

Brain fade
For some reason I added the r and it became so entrenched that I have typed it that way for 10 years. I have to go back and change the title of about 20 images. Thanks

This is actually a cynipid wasp gall.

Correct ID
Thanks for the correct ID Charley. I do O.K. with grass and plant species ID - but with insects, I'm just taking a stab in the dark. Thank goodness there are some really knowledgeable people on this site who sort it all out.
