Andricus solitarius
Gall wasp Adricus solitarius
Description
Among buds at the end of twigs is formed a bottle-like gall, 0.5-2.0 cm in size. It is brown and it has a felt, hairy surface. After the gall dries out, the fine hair disappears. In autumn, after leaves fall off, they are more easily observed. The small wasp leaves the gall through the round exit hole on its lateral side.
