gall wasp
A gall wasp is a type of small insect from the family Cynipidae and is known for causing abnormal growths or galls on plants. The female wasp injects her eggs into plant tissue, usually oak trees, which results in the formation of these galls. The galls, which may be various shapes, sizes and colors, serve as protective homes and sources of food for the developing wasp larvae.
