In addition, most males were reared in the autumn (October-December) of the year of gall formation, whereas almost all females emerged in April-May the following spring after gall formation. Thus, most males were temporally isolated from ovipositing females and therefore essentially functionless. This is similar to

). We observed that clusters of galls (e.g., on one catkin) often produced adults of only one gender. Galls were visible in Edmonton in May, with adults emerging in late May or early June. Sexual generation females were observed ovipositing mostly on the undersides of leaves and often on leaves that were on long shoots and/or that were not yet fully mature.
