When you thought that cancer couldn't get any worse.Oak trees could be dominated among the most tumorous trees on earth.The cooperate is a tiny swarm of many species of parasitic wasps that use the oak tree to shelter their larvae inside.Wasps do this by infecting the oak tree with chemicals that force the tree to create a bumpy tumor full of nutrients for the larvae to feed on.Some wasps infect the larvae of other wasps that have infected the tree so their larvae can feed of the other's wasps body.
