Galls on rose leaf

These smooth, shiny little galls were on my climbing rose bush leaves this summer. I cut one open and discovered a small pale green larva inside. I think these galls may be made by a Cynipid wasp (a minute little creature), but I am not really sure. They don't damage the rose at all, and I actually find the tiny red shiny "balls" quite attractive.

Just like colourful pearls. Nicely captured.

A beautiful, crisp shot, well framed. I think they are pretty, too. V
