Diastrophus kincaidii explained

Diastrophus kincaidii, also known as the thimbleberry gallmaker wasp, is a species of cynipid wasp that induces integral stem galls on thimbleberry plants.[1] Galls induced by this wasp are the foundation of a derivative ecosystem, supporting a weevil and at least nine parasitic wasps.[2]
