biped..."Oak galls are created when a tiny wasp lays its eggs on leaves of young red oak trees. The tree reacts to the eggs and a gall forms around the eggs. These are fuzzy but by mid summer the fuzz goes away and they turn into hard shells. The galls normally don't hurt the trees."

That is very interesting. We are glad it normally doesn't hurt the tree.
Those things scare me, just a little bit.
We've never seen anything like that. That's pretty cool...in an icky sort of way. If that makes sense! LOL.
Wow those are cool...we've never seen them before. How do the baby wasps get out?
