Cool Wasp Cribs | #DeepLook #Shorts

These wasp houses are not homes exactly, but more akin to nurseries. The galls serve as an ideal environment for wasp larvae, whether it is a single offspring, or dozens.

That's so alien like it's sort of baffling

Perfect timing to get me pumped for my masters project on gall wasps ❤

I love wasps. I know that's an unpopular opinion but I do. I also love figs and without the wasps I couldn't have them so...thanks, wasps!

I'm so glad my gallstones didn't look like that lol

The wasps must be really good at putting their babies to sleep with those cool cribs

Big ol' oak tree out the side door. I've noticed a few different growths on the leaves over the years; need to put some in a jar & see what happens! 😃👍

Here in the Sonoran Desert, there's also a species of gall-inducing fly that inhabits the creosote bush in a similar way.

Never would have known this was the egg of the gall wasp. They're very odd and colorful. Thanks for sharing!

Is that where “You’ve got a lot of gall” comes from?

I always pull them off.... is that bad? The squirrel planted an acorn for me in a Perfect spot. The oak is about 10+ ft tall now and very healthy. I assumed it was ok to pull them off the trunk.

I'm not really fond of shorts in general but honestly here it's worst than short, I can have a bigger image on my phone....

Housing is housing nowadays, y'know? I'd be paying 650 plus utilities for a place that close to the park.

Imagine parasitic humans.. how we look from outer space.. Life is scary : (

I'm a oak tree and a blocky man is punching me. He's turning my flesh into planks! 😢

Is there perhaps any wasp that maybe, haven't evolved to cause as much pain and misery to all other living creatures?
