The hatching larvae nourish themselves with the nutritive tissue of the galls, in which they are otherwise well-protected from external environmental effects. The host plants, and the size and shape of the galls are specific to the majority of gall wasps, with about 70% of the known species parasitizing various types of oak, inducing oak galls ...
Cynipini is a tribe of gall wasps.These insects induce galls in plants of the beech and oak family, Fagaceae. [1] They are known commonly as the oak gall wasps. [2] It is the largest cynipid tribe, with about 936 [3] to 1000 [2] recognized species, most of which are associated with oaks. [2]

Andricus hispanicus is a parthenogenetic species of wasp which causes the formation of marble galls on oak trees. The galls caused by the agamous generation are similar to the closely related Andricus kollari .
Andricus quercuscalicis (Burgsdorf, 1783) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) [7] is a small gall wasp with an obligate two-phase life-cycle that requires both pedunculate oak (Q. robur L.) (or occasionally sessile oak Q.petraea L.) [3] and Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.). Therefore, as with most oak gall wasps, this species has alternate sexual and ...

Cola-nut gall cut open to show the unilocular cavity Oak marble galls showing two stunted and two normal-sized examples. The galls are found in small groups, which however do not coalesce, helping to prevent mis-identification with the oak marble gall (Andricus kollari), in addition the shape is ovoid rather than spherical and it is scaly rather than smooth.
