Gall Week Spring 2023

Welcome to the 3rd Gall Week event! This will be our first spring event. Join us and document galls wherever you are at. Please photograph galls between Saturday, April 15th and Sunday, April 23rd. 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.
From our 2021 project:
Don't forget to add information about the host plant - 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 you've never done this before, 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:
