Safari Tip:

Artichoke galls contain the single
larva of the gall wasp Andricus fecundator. The larva lives inside a
smaller hard casing inside the artichoke and this is released in autumn. The
asexual wasp emerges in spring and lays her eggs in the oak catkins. These
develop into small oval galls which produce the sexual generation of wasps.
