Some of the intruding insects that come from oak galls are not
harmless. They are the ones called parasites. They live in the houses
not for the sake of the protection or the food furnished by the house,
but in order to eat the actual dwellers in the house. Often and often
not a single real gall-insect comes out in the spring from many of the
little houses, but only a little swarm, or sometimes just two or three,
or even one, of these insect-devouring parasites that has eaten up the
rightful owners of the house. Vernon L. Kellogg, "Insect Stories."

Parasitism
I've been publishing on the web for over 30 years now. I am a former teacher, an artist, a volunteer archivist and I generate large collections of educational artifacts for teachers, ministry and home schooling parents on my blogs.
