Atrusca capronae, also known as the striped oak-apple gall wasp, is a fairly common species of cynipid wasp that produces galls on oak trees in North America.[1] The wasp oviposits on shrub live oak leaves.[1] The intensity of the stripe color may vary regionally.[1] This wasp is most commonly observed in Arizona but is found elsewhere in southwestern North America where its host plant is present.[2]
