Asexual Generation Galls

Description:

While developing, the gall wasp larvae,within, take care not to bespoil their oaken palace – their intestine remains disconnected from the anus, and only hooks up for deposit immediately prior to pupation. Don’t defecate where you eat, the old adage goes. http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_qu...
