A 2,000-year-old bronze pot freshly unearthed in central China’s Henan Province has contained more than 3,000 ml of unknown liquid.

Archaeologists discovered the pot with a curved neck in the shape of a swan in a tomb in the city of Sanmenxia. Also unearthed from the tomb included a bronze helmet, a bronze basin and swords made of iron and jade.

The unknown liquid in the pot was yellowish-brown in color with impurities. The sample was sent to Beijing for further tests.

Gall wasps are small wasps (1-8mm) in the family Cynipidae. Their common name comes from the galls they induce on the plants they lay their eggs in. Plant galls are abnormal outgrowths of plant tissues, similar to benign tumors in animals.

The plant galls mostly develop directly after the female wasp lays the eggs within the plant using an ovipoistor. The inducement for the gall formation is largely unknown; discussion speculates as to chemical, mechanical, and viral triggers.

The hatching larvae feed on the tissue of the galls, in which they are otherwise well-protected from external environmental effects. The host plants and the size and shape of the galls are specific to each species, and there are about 1300 species worldwide.

Photos of adult wasps are hard to come by, but below are some of the galls they induce on plants!

Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina)

Eastern Box Turtles are native to Mexico and the United States as various subspecies. All of its subspecies hybridize naturally in various combinations through much of its range. This was once one of the most common pet store animals, but habitat loss and over collection have left them threatened and endangered in many states.
