    Is this Spangle Gall? Will wasps be forthcoming? Taken today in Windham, NH on Oak Leaf, lakeside.

    Answer

    Dear tracyd123, this does not look like a spangle gall to me, but rather an oak leaf gall by a species of midge. If you look at images of the spangle gall online you will notice they are more flattened out and have spotting. Best wishes.
