After a light freeze the previous night, temperatures remained cool under sunny skies as three volunteers participated in this week's survey. Galls on plant leaves and stems can be caused by a variety of organisms, including wasps, flies, mites and even fungi. Several types of galls found on Hackberry are home to psyllids (see below), tiny insects related to aphids.
