my work

Wally was interacting a lot more with the other dogs than he usually does at the park; maybe he was just excited about all of the other corgis.

This is a photo of an Oak Gall. It is the product of very interesting interaction: that of an oak tree and a Gall Wasp. This gall (the round pod looking thing that in essence has a similar function to a hive) is the result of a parasitic interaction between the wasp and the oak tree.

The galls are developed when specializing insects (in this case the Gall Wasp) excrete chemicals that interfere with the tree’s plant cell growth and formation. The oak tree then develops these round pods of tissue on the tree’s twigs in response to the wasp’s chemical secretions. The adult Gall Wasp lays its eggs within the hard seed like cell in the center of the gall. Until the gall formation is complete, the parent wasp will feed upon the nutrients produced by the oak. Once the gall growth stops, the developing wasp is encased within the gall and feeds only upon its spongy plant tissue. Housed within the gall, the developing wasps are protected from natural enemies, the elements, and insecticides until they are ready to emerge. Afterwards, the gall begins to dry out and fall from the tree. Ironically enough, aside from the initial parasitic relationship, the wasp doesn’t cause harm or lasting damage to the host oak.
