Trichoteras coquilletti, formerly Andricus coquilletti, also known as the little oak-apple gall wasp, is a fairly common species of cynipid wasp that produces galls on oak trees in North America.[1] This wasp oviposits on the underside of the leaves of huckleberry oaks and canyon live oaks.[1] The larval chamber is at the center of the gall, connected to the husk by slender, radiating fibers.[1]
