Diplolepis bicolor (
Beutenmuller, 1907)
|
Diplolepis bicolor, also known as the spiny bud gall wasp, is a species of cynipid wasp that induces bud galls on wild roses. [1] This gall wasp is found throughout North America. [2] The galls measure 10 to 12 mm in diameter and have a superficial resemblance to the leaf galls induced by Diplolepis polita. [1]
