Insect galls are abnormal growths that form on plants, typically caused by the interaction between a plant and certain insects, such as gall wasps or aphids. These galls can vary in size, shape, and color, depending on the species of insect and the type of plant. The insects lay their eggs in the plant tissue, and as the larvae develop, they stimulate the plant to produce the gall, which provides food and protection. Galls can be found on various parts of plants, including leaves, stems, and roots. While they may appear unsightly, galls are a fascinating example of how insects can manipulate plant growth. Some galls are even used in traditional medicine or as a source of natural dyes, showcasing their ecological and cultural significance.
