Natasha Taylor@friesen5000 My contribution to #WaspWednesday is this blue flower wasp I found while rushing for the train in Melbourne, Australia!
It's the first #WaspWednesday of 2025! Let's start the new year off with a gall wasp double-shot.
This lovely two-toned lady goes by Disholcaspis quercusmamma, or D.q. mamma for short. Upon becoming an adult in fall, she chews her way out of the gall she's lived in since spring. Being parthenogenic she has no need to mate in order to lay eggs that will be the spring sexual generation.
Sadly not all of her kind will make it to adulthood..see next post

It's #WaspWednesday! Here's a pair of Eurytomid wasps. I always think these would make good movie monsters if they were greatly enlarged (life size they're maybe 5mm long). I reared these from a gallwasp gall. #insects #wasps #Hymenoptera #Eurytomidae

Today's #WaspWednesday offering is a pair of wasps from the family Eurytomidae(?) (Cc @ymilesz for confirmation). They emerged from a gall on a native sunflower caused of the gall midge Asphondylia helianthiglobulus where they had parasitized the midge larvae. #wasp #Hymenoptera #insects #gall #galls #Eurytomidae #Diptera #Cecidomyiidae #sunflower
