On Common Pawpaw (195999179).
ID tentative.
This tiny wonder had me 99.999% convinced it was just a speck of scat - until I investigated a little too closely and it took off running!
Did the best I could on photos. It was seriously minute! I was also fighting partial shade which shifted with the breeze. And, of course, my extremely limited photography skills :D

**26 Jul 2001 Update:**
The host tree was misidentified. All references to Quercus sinuata breviloba should be replaced with Quercus laceyi.
On Quercus sinuata breviloba Quercus laceyi. Occurs on both sides of the leaf from inside the midrib. This particular tree was covered in the galls on almost every leaf. More pics to follow of closeups/sections, etc.

Wet from falling into water.
Suggested ID was Andricus quercuslanigera, which looks similar, but it seems to only use live oak leaves vs this post oak leaf.
