Q. rubra
Initially collected as a C. rubida specimen. Dissection of several galls revealed chambers absolutely packed with larvae - possible inquilines? Tentatively identified as Ceroptresini by @moneykittens. Larvae preserved in 95% etOH, attempting to rear adult specimens.

"Leaves-of-three," post-bloom, fruiting Sticky Cinquefoil. Link to observation of how pretty they look (in April) when they bloom: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/113673782
Sticky Cinquefoil (Drymocallis glandulosa) Native, perennial, sticky-glandular plant that grows 20-70cm (up to 27 inches) tall on erect stems. It is in the Rose family-- as are strawberries. At first glance, the leaf arrangement, "leaves-of-three," might look like Wild Strawberry, but Sticky Cinquefoil is larger and taller with sticky, glandular hairs. Leaves are widely obovate, generally with 3 pairs of fuzzy, toothed leaflets, 9-17 per side of the stem. Flowers have 5 petals that are widely spaced apart, cream or pale yellow, and widely ovate-elliptic. Flowers have > 20 yellow stamens with round anthers. Peak bloom time: March-June. Fruits are 1--1.5 mm and reddish-brown. There are several subspecies. Drymocallis glandulosa var. wrangelliana grows in openings in coastal scrub, in moist or semi-shaded places at elevation < 1000m (up to 3281 ft).
