Diplolepis rosae
The Mossy Rose Gall Wasp is a tiny insect that makes special homes called galls on rose bushes. These galls look like little green balls and help protect the wasp's eggs inside.
生息地: Gardens and Rose bushes
The Mossy Rose Gall Wasp is a tiny, dark-bodied insect, typically black or dark brown, with a small head and prominent antennae. Its body is compact, and its transparent wings fold over its back, giving it a delicate appearance. It's visually distinct from other wasps by its connection to the unique mossy galls it creates.
