Jumping Oak Galls -- Oak Tree Jumping Beans
Loading...
Uploaded by singtolearn on Jul 15, 2007
This is a video I captured in my backyard showing Jumping Oak Galls. Oak Galls are the little spheres grown on an oak tree as the result of a parasite, such as a wasp, laying eggs on the tree's leaves. As the wasp egg grows into a larvae, the larvae starts to move inside the gall, making it move and jump. It's the oak tree equivalent of a Mexican Jumping Bean.

This is a great teaching tool--Thanks for it! For all you paranoiacs out there--this is a very small NON-STINGING wasp.

I found this well put together video while trying to figure out what these things were. Thing is, I can only seem to find record of these jumping galls in Cali, but I found thousands of them in a pile in the woods in IL. Near Chicago! Strange.
Strange.

I lived in Sutter from 1966-1978! Went to Brittan Elementary until my parents divorce, my Dad was a custodian at the school, Clyde Elkins. Miss the oaks as well as the black walnut trees. Interesting vid!
