... that the gall wasp Synergus japonicus is considered to be a kleptoparasite? Source: " Inquilinism is a form of cleptoparasitism, usually considered to represent a unilaterally beneficial relationship that benefits only the inquiline"
ALT1:... that Synergus japonicus is an inquiline species, living in the gall created by another species of wasp? Source: "species of Synergini are mostly inquiline and are unable to induce gall, but live as obligate guest inhabitant of the gall induced by the gall-inducing host, deriving all nutrients from the gall tissue initiated by the host"
Overall: It is marked as a stub by one of the WikiProjects (it has 310 words), but it is about 1800 characters and not tagged as a stub on the page itself. I encourage the nominator to expand it some if at all possible. Everything else looks good, no copyvio or other problems. Please expand the article as much as possible to give it a cushion. (500 words is a benchmark I've heard before for it definately not being labeled as a stub). Footlessmouse (talk) 02:39, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Footlessmouse: We do not approve stubs for DYK. And often it's not the nominator who put the rating there. I can see that the article has enough information for start-class status, so I updated the rating. You could have done that too. Yoninah (talk) 02:23, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
