gall wasp with rudimentary wings - Acraspis
Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma, USA
February 5, 2016
Size: 4mm
Leaves of Quercus macrocarpa were collected on 11/23/2015 and refrigerated, in order to rear leaf mining moths. However, a number of the leaves had galls of various sorts. Today I took the bag out of the fridge, and this critter was actively moving about the leaves, even at the cool temperature. Date of emergence unknown.
