What Gall! The Crazy Cribs of Parasitic Wasps

Plenty of animals build their homes in oak trees. But some very teeny, tricky wasps make the tree do all the work. And each miniature mansion the trees build for the wasps' larvae is weirder and more flamboyant than the next

I didn't even know this was your very third episode because I use to skip the ending of your shows and I didnt use to see the date of creation while watching this fall wasp episode
And when I saw the ending while watching your 167episodes the ending was also the same as that squid colour change episode and this fall wasp episode was also third to the last.

Can someone make a horror movie based of Gall wasp? Like they mutated or an alien species who just want to lay babies in human and release 'whatever' and trick human body turning into an walking abomination egg sack, hardass skin even a rocket launcher can't take it down. The body, burst, spill, latch on normal people to release the Gall wasp babies.

I heard from Tom Wessels that some galls are actually recently thought to supply more energy to the tree through photosynthesis than the amount of energy the trees are sinking into the gall. It might not be simple parasitism.

I know this is an old video so I really hope someone answers this question, Are these type of wasps in Michigan? Just curious? I tried finding information on it and it just gave me some s about wasp stings
reply

What I want to know is why does the gall wasp make galls? Do the wasps only make galls in the autumn? I heard they only live a couple of days so how do they survive all year long?
reply

I thought this would be about the other type of parasitic wasp at first. You know, the kind that made Charles Darwin doubt the existence of God because it was so cruel
reply

Oak gall is a principal component in ink. One could say (with a bit of a stretch) that the human scholastic work for many many centuries also rests on these tiny parasites.

This kinda reminds me of Stargate Atlantis: The Wraith have ships that are grown plants. These wasps are kinda doing the same, forcing the plant to produce a ship to them.

I could have gone my entire life blissfully ignorant of this. Now every time I see weird shapes in trees, Im gonna be thinking theyre wasps larvae inside
reply

i wonder if we could make plants grow houses for us? except, not real houses, just specific structures for aesthetic or even practical use to be harvested?
reply

I used to see. the one that looks like a pink blankets. Its a round ball in leaves. its beautiful. never knew the name. thanks to video now i know

Gall Wasp: I have a nice safe house here so other bugs can go bother someone else. Parasitoid Wasps: No, I don't think I will.
reply

So thats what those were. The green spikes thinking on the pack tree next to my childhood home was filled with this spickey ball.
reply

I'm not mocking you at all.
You got some friggin' gall.
Keep it up, kid. You'll stick the landing on a freefall.

Parasitic wasps are, by far, my favorite group of wasps! So much variety and so many layers of parasitizing.
reply

These wasps often control pests on their hosts keeping them healthy. Much more of a symbiotic relationship really
reply

I've actually seen some of these galls before and always wondered what they were. Thank you for the knowledge!
reply

Today on ATV cribs will be seeing the gall wasp the actually doesn't even pay anything to build it's house
reply

Imagine your an oak tree, and a wasp comes and ejects its eggs into you
Im not sure I want to imagine that

reply

The mighty oak stands tall and proud, as little wars of subterfuge carry on upon its leaves and branches.
reply

I thought all parasitic wasp larvae eat insects from the inside-out. How come this one is different?
