Silk Button Spangled Galls - Neuroterus numismalis wasp.
Silk Button Spangled Galls, these were all over the Oak tree on every leaf and hundreds of leaves had fallen, early we thought, we tried to find out if they damaged the tree but couldn't find anything specific. Lovely "Buttons" though.
I found this information: -This wasp will not impact the long term yield of trees, but galls may be unsightly. Damage is only aesthetic. Gall wasps seem to be more frequent in some years than others, allowing trees to recover.
