Gouty Stem Gall Wasp
Callirhytis quercussuttoni
The Gouty Stem Gall Wasp is a tiny insect that makes galls on oak trees. These galls are like little bumps that help protect the wasp's babies as they grow inside.
生息地: Forests
外見
The Gouty Stem Gall Wasp is a tiny, dark-bodied insect, typically black or dark brown, with a somewhat rounded abdomen. Its body is smooth and shiny, often with clear, membranous wings that are longer than its body. It is distinctly small, making it difficult to spot without close inspection, and lacks the bright colors seen in some other wasp species.
