Andricus
Andricus is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae.
Life cycle
As in all Hymenoptera, sex-determination in species of the genus Andricus is governed by haplodiploidy: males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid.Many species in the genus alternate between an asexual generation and a sexual generation.
