Found in galls https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4473583. Tiny wasps Chalcidoidea sp. (superfamily) (A gall wasp or Chalcid wasp) in the container were presumably also from the galls but I did not see them emerge or in galls. Are the larger ones the gall-forming wasps and the small ones parasitic?
