Dried Wasp Gall

This interesting thing is actually the home of wasp larva, where it is protected from the elements while it grows large enough to eat through the shell and emerge as an adult. This particular gall is interesting to me because it has many holes in it and doesn't appear to be the same kind as the usual Oak Gall we have around our property.
