This creature is a first for me. I found it on the morning of the 25th in my favorite oak gall where I had discovered first a not-fully-developed bark louse on Feb. 28, then, from April 10 to May 1, a Phytocoris plant bug developing from nymph to adulthood. Later in the day, I returned and found a second, different animal, obviously related but different in appearance. The next day I found a soft-nosed weevil ensconced with one of these creatures. They have subsequently all disappeared by the next morning. In some photos they are coming out from holes in the gall, so, obviously they were laid there and were coming out to finish their life cycle, whatever it may be. Why the weevil decided to take up abode there I could not ascertain. Maybe the gall is rent-controlled.:-)
