Created by the larvae of a tiny gall wasp, Diplolepis rosae. The adult wasp lays eggs into the developing leaf buds of a wild rose, and as the grubs hatch and develop the plant is stimulated to produce more and more of the cells that the grubs need, and protection from predators. The adult wasps will emerge next spring.

"If you have the capacity

To create the clouds of trouble,

Then God has the capacity

To create the sun of Grace.

For whom, if not for you,

For you alone?"

A decision had to be made - " How long does pasta need ....?"

It is all about when to stop.

The male marsh wren builds the nest in anticipation of the arrival of the female. Sometimes they build "dummy nests" which aren't used, they are never as well completed as the ones that are used as brood nests. Some scientists theorize that they are build as an outlet for the energy of the males before the females arrive. Dummy or extra nest building stops when the females arrive and mating starts.
