Gallformers ID Notes
“
Slight A. canescens leaf blister. Galled leaves yellowed overall with purple tinge farther up the leaf. They are folded tightly down the middle and detach much more easily than healthy leaves. A galled leaf with a large hole in it was pulled open and inside was a chamber with frass inside. Found in New Mexico in January.
