おもしろい事実
Each tiny gall can house just one wasp larva, safe inside its leafy, custom-built home.
The gall protects the developing wasp larva better than any fortress from predators!
The red "cones" you see on oak leaves are actually mini nurseries for baby wasps!
These wasps are so small, many can fit comfortably on the head of a pin!
