A wasp that lays its eggs in the stems of plants. A plant with such an egg in it grows a greatly swollen tumor call a gall.
Gall wasps are preyed upon by birds, parasitic wasps, beetles, and some species of ants. These predators help regulate gall wasp populations in nature.
Gall Wasps create Galls in trees. There larvae feed off of the Galls that have been created. Adults do not feed at all, and have a very short life span.
Gall wasps do not sting because they do not possess a stinger or venom glands like other wasp species. They instead lay their eggs inside plants, causing the formation of galls or abnormal growths on the plant tissue.

Yes, wasp wings can make noise when the wasp is flying. The buzzing sound comes from the rapid movement of the wings as the wasp flaps them to stay airborne.

Oak galls are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. The adult female wasp lays single eggs in developing leaf buds. The wasp larvae feed on the gall tissue resulting from their secretions. Oak galls are sometimes called oak apples or oak balls.

Yes - there are many types of wasps in California including: German yellowjacket, western yellowjacket, California yellowjacket, paper wasp, mud dauber, fig wasp, Western sand wasp, square headed wasp, bee wolf, Pacific burrowing wasp, gall wasp, soldier wasp, club horned wasp, burrowing wasp, blue mud wasp, cutworm wasp, thread-waisted wasp, mason wasp, potter wasp, and pollen wasp. Obviously this is not a complete list - just scratching the surface really - but it does demonstrate that California has plenty of wasps.

wasp gall. my answers are designed to make you research your question.
The red-looking bulb in an oak tree is likely a gall, specifically an oak gall, which is caused by the larvae of gall wasps. These insects lay their eggs on the tree, and as the larvae develop, they stimulate the tree to produce a growth that encases them, resulting in a bulbous, red structure. Galls can vary in color and size, but they are generally harmless to the tree, although they can indicate the presence of the wasp.
