A scientist who studies cecidiology, the formation and characteristics of plant galls and similar growths caused by insects and other organisms.
From cecidium (plant gall) plus -logist (from Greek -logos meaning 'study' plus -ista meaning 'one who studies'); cecidium comes from Latin caecus ('blind').
Cecidiologists discovered that some wasps trick plants into creating nutritious chambers where they raise their babies—it's like plants being hacked by tiny insects into building apartments for them.
