I was curious...

What was this brown grassy looking growth on this live oak tree? With a quick google search, I found out these are galls caused by a tiny wasp. Phone shot. More info here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=1203

@wakelys I think these only grow on Live Oaks. Not so sure they grow on other species. But let me know if they do. =)
