These round galls on bur oak are made by a tiny little wasp in the Cynipidae family, probably Disholcaspis quercusmamma. They lay their eggs on the twigs of Bur Oak, and these little galls are formed around the eggs, a nice protective cover. The Cynipid wasps are minuscule, and these galls are very small too. Inside is a perfectly formed oval cocoon. The hole at the side shows that the gall is now empty.
