Small, egg-shaped, thin-walled, pointed capsules embedded among densely clustered broom-like bud scales on the trunk or at the base of branches on Quercus lobata. They appear to be green (but hidden under bud scales) when fresh, then dry brown after the emergence. Observed with fresh exit holes in early May in San Jose, CA, suggesting that this is likely the spring sexual generation of a known or unknown species.
