Live oak (Quercus viginiana) bullet gall parasitoids
Goehmann Lane, Fredericksburg County, Texas, USA
November 1, 2015
Size: larvae: 1.5-2mm
Exciting find: the gall causer chamber was full of parasitoid larvae. Sorry that this image is not sharp.
Similar parasitoids have been found before in gall on a bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa), see

This is rather interesting. Are they the same?
