A team of ecologists and entomologists in Brazil has observed the first instance of galls providing protection against fire to gall-inducing Boheman weevil larvae.
Galls are bulbous outgrowths on some plants that are produced as a result of an insect releasing a substance through their epidermis.
After releasing the substance, the insect drops eggs into the gall, which grow into larvae .
