Diplolepis polita
Diplolepis polita, also known as the Robin's pincushion, is a tiny insect that creates round, fuzzy galls on rose bushes. These galls are like little homes for the insect's larvae, making them very special!
生息地: Urban areas
The Diplolepis polita is a tiny, dark, and often shiny wasp, appearing somewhat ant-like with a compact body and clear wings. Its most distinctive feature is not the wasp itself, but the reddish, spiky, mossy galls it creates on rose plants, which are much larger than the insect.
