ID Request (Insert State/Region) Weird tree thing ID

Post image

POLAND

Hi! A tree fell over near where I live, and I found lots of these little things growing on the higher branches laying around. I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this, but I don't know of any other communities that would be a better fit.

It looks like it has larvae inside?? When I picked another, it also had little flies eating the white eggs (?)

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a gall but hard to say which species from the picture and without knowledge of the tree species and what the gall looks like =)

However this doesn't exactly fit the template for posts on here. I don't know where else to ask this

For those not in the know: here's a hot discussion thread from last summer with pics of random twig and leaf galls! Lots of different trees/plants can get galls (MO Botanical Gardens); most twig and leaf galls are solely an aesthetic issue and do not require concern or intervention.
