Andricus quercuscalifornicus
''Andricus quercuscalifornicus'' (occasionally. A. californicus), or the California Gall Wasp, is a small wasp species that induces oak apple galls on white oaks, primarily the Valley Oak (''Quercus lobata'') but also other species such as Quercus berberidifolia. It is found from Washington, Oregon, and California to northern regions of Mexico. Often multiple wasps in different life stages occupy the same gall.
==Description==
The adult wasps are small, stout and brown, about 5mm long with clear wings nearly twice the length of the body. The antennae are filiform and about the same length as the legs. 〔http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/hymenopt/Andricus%20quercuscalifornicus/Andricus%20quercuscalifornicus.htm retrieved 27 Jan 2015〕 Despite their size they are one of the largest species of Cynipid wasps.
The gall itself is a typical oak apple gall in appearance, roughly spherical and varies from greenish to reddish or orange depending on host, age and environmental conditions. The galls range in size from a 2-14 centimeters across and often contain multiple larvae as well as parasites and other species that form a mutual relationship by feeding off the galls themselves. The outer galls are hard in texture and are not easy to penetrate.
