male catkins remain very small and are disfigured; they contain one or two white, jumping larvae. Larvae hibernate in the soil. Because the galls mainly occur high in the trees, and exist for just one or two weeks, they are difficult to discover.
host plants
Fagaceae, narrowly monophagous
Quercus cerris.
