Gall Week September 2023

Welcome to the 4th Gall Week event! Join us and document galls wherever you are at. Please photograph galls between Saturday, Sept 2nd and Sunday, Sept 10th. In order to contribute to our project, please join the project, and add your observations manually. You can also do it in bulk if you upload it on your desktop computer.
From our 2021 project:
Don't forget to add information about the host plant if you can. You can add it as a note, or even better, in the fields: Host and Host plant ID field. You can also link to the host plant observation if you're not sure what it was.
If this is your first time looking for galls, you can check what are the best host plants in your area. You can use gall or insect books from your area, websites (such as https://gallformers.org/), podcasts (https://podcast.naturesarchive.com/2021/09/14/galls/), and iNat.
A good way to start is to look at one of the gall projects and see what other people found in your area:
