My Dad and I spent some time at Hartsholme Park, Lincoln, searching for plant galls. This gall had a bonus bee fly next to it - the fly was a bit cold so hung around long enough for me to get a few shots of it from different angles. This one was my favourite because it shows the underside - not something I've had a good look at before.
Bee fly, Bombylius major, and gall, Andricus lignicola, on oak, Quercus robur.
Handheld, natural light. Background colour is from the carpet of leaves on the woodland floor.
