Eurytoma obtusiventris is a species of
Eurosta solidaginis. The wasp attacks after oviposition but prior to the formation of a gall. Eurytoma obtusiventris prompts the Eurosta solidaginis larvae to create a pupa, which the wasp will use after consuming its host.[1] They typically consume the host in autumn and overwinter within the gall, emerging during the summer.[2]
