Students collected oak galls from several areas around southern and southeastern Arizona. They kept the galls in containers to collect any wasps that emerged. Emergent wasps were documented and DNA extraction/sequecing was performed to identify the wasps.

Great work! You are all learning so much, and using DNA analysis takes a lot of patience and time.
