While weeding my backyard garden, I've found this fallen leave with many "bumps" looking dots on it. Could someone tell me what those might be?
Thanks in advance.

They're probably a tiny wasp's galls that normally live on Live Oaks, Andricus kingi. They don't harm the tree

Claypa, thank you. I'll return the leave to the wild, let's nature take its course. Appreciate your reply.
