Cynipini is a tribe of gall wasps. These insects induce galls in plants of the beech and oak family, Fagaceae.[1] They are known commonly as the oak gall wasps.[2]

Tribe: Cynipini
Leach, 1815

It is the largest cynipid tribe, with about 936[3] to 1000[2] recognized species, most of which are associated with oaks.[2] The tribe is mainly native to the Holarctic.[3]

Most of these wasps undergo cyclical parthenogenesis, sometimes reproducing sexually, and sometimes producing young without fertilization.[2]

gollark: North Korea is probably just doing a combination of not testing, reporting no accurate data whatsoever, and killing anyone with bad symptoms.
gollark: If you have drew a line-art version of this it would probably be possible to write a script to convert it to equations automatically.
gollark: You probably could generate it automatically out of a bunch of lines.
gollark: Also, if you play it in safe mode i.e. don't launch the driver on boot the game will apparently refuse to run until you reboot.
gollark: Lots of games do the kernel driver thing, but they're venturing into new areas of malware-like "anticheat" by making it run constantly.
