hrastova šiška Explanation: Za razliku od oak gall za kojeg predlažem da ga prevedete naprosto kao žir. The Oak Marble Gall (also known as 'Oak Nut') is caused by a tiny gall wasp, Andricus kollari. Clusters of Oak Marble Galls can be found on oak twigs. They turn brown as they mature and emergence holes, from which the asexual adults have escaped, can be seen from autumn onwards. The empty gall is left on the twig. The emerging females then lay eggs in the buds of Turkey Oaks which develop overwinter and emerge in spring as a sexual generation of males and females, ready to make the familiar summer gall. How to identify Oak Marble Galls are hard, woody, marble-like balls found on oak twigs, often in clusters. Reference: http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/species/oak-marble-gall |
