Two ladies
A fleeting moment. The female Winter moth was sitting on a stump and the Biorhiza female was running around on that same stump - probably lost a bit, as she must have been expecting to be climbing a complete tree ... one short instant, in passing, it seems like a sisterly embrace ;o)
Some 15 minutes later, the Winter moth had another visitor:
''Biorhiza pallida'' is a gall wasp species in the family Cynipidae. This species is a member of the tribe Cynipini: the oak gall wasp tribe. Cynipini is the tribe partially responsible for the formation of galls known as oak apples on oak trees. These are formed after the wasp lays eggs inside the leaf buds and the plant tissues swell as the larvae of the gall wasp develop inside.
