      You're welcome! It is amazing how they modify the plant tissue in their service. Good candidates for your list :)
      I have a few more of these, I have yet to identify them. They seem to like oak trees, there is a variety of species. This is the collection we have so far http://www.jungledragon.com/wildlife/browse/animalia/arthropoda/insecta/hymenoptera/cynipidae       Posted 11 years ago
