12 wasps emerged between 2/1-2/6/2021. Original gall observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65612505 Host plant Quercus sinuata breviloba.

I collected a lot of galls for rearing, all at the same time/place. I separated them into several containers, just for my convenience. Most were in bags made of synthetic organza, but I also kept 1 group in a ziplock bag that did not get the outside moisture that the others did. All were reared outside and subjected to natural weather conditions (rain, temp, etc.) 4 different containers yielded multiple individuals, for a total of 12. 11 were still alive, and they would have emerged in the previous 5 days. They were frequently found on the leaves and not moving around the container. I photographed one without chilling it and observed it for 15 minutes. It spent much of that time cleaning itself. It did not try to fly off, but it did walk around. I was able to empty the containers (individually) onto paper, check each leaf, and separate out the ones that had adults on them. I never found it necessary to chill them for photographing. 1 was observed to flutter it's wings and "jump" up but never took flight. Preserved in vial 41.
