Trichoteras vacciniifoliae, formerly Andricus vacciniifoliae,[1] the golden oak apple wasp, is a species of gall-forming hymenopteran. The wasp creates a stem gall[2] on host plants, namely huckleberry oaks and canyon live oaks.[3] Andricus vacciniifoliae is native to the west coast of North America.[4] Because of their colorful appearance and location on the plant, the galls are often mistaken for fruit.[5] The larval chamber is at the center of the gall, connected to the husk by slender, radiating fibers.[1]
