Gall wasps, also traditionally called gall flies, are hymenopterans of the family Cynipidae in the wasp superfamily Cynipoidea. Their common name derives from the galls they produce on plants for larval development. About 1,300 species of these generally very small creatures (1–8 millimeter or 1⁄32–5⁄16 inch) are known worldwide,[1] with about 360 species from 36 different genera in Europe and about 800 species in North America source
