Gall wasp - Zapatella davisae
Copyright © 2013 Marc DiGirolomo

Gall wasp - Zapatella davisae
Barnstable, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, USA
Size: 1.8mm
The date of emergence is unknown for these. I think they emerged recently so I would put a date of sometime in April. The galls were collected on 10/18/12. A handful of deformed black oak (Quercus velutina) twigs produced a few hundred of these little guys. Any taxonomic info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Specimen deposited in MFD private collection.
