In addition to the gall moth and gall wasp there is a complex community of parasitoid wasps associated with Searsia galls. Eighteen species of parasitoid wasp belonging to five families in the superfamily Chalcidoidea have been recorded as parasitizing the gall moth or the gall wasp larva inside the galls.
