tegater 789 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 It looks like "Robins Pincushion" which is the home of the Gall wasp larvae. Would probably have been green a few weeks ago. Not 100%, somebody else may confirm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diplolepis-rosae.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
