cynipid - Andricus laniger
Copyright © 2008 Joyce Gross

cynipid - Andricus laniger
Manteca, San Joaquin County, California, USA
Size: 1.5-2mm
Emerged at my house on February 1, 2008, from galls collected in November 2007. The galls were on Quercus virginiana, an oak not native to California and planted in a Manteca park. See this set of gall/leaf images.

Identified using Weld (1) and the help of Kathy Schick. Also, Kathy and some cynipid folks from Europe found more non-native Quercus virginiana trees on the San Joaquin Delta College campus (same county as these, different town) with the same galls!
