Answer:

Large bugs

Explanation:

The relative fitness on the new food source is bigger in large bugs since they have longer beaks that can reach seeds inside the seedpod of the balloon vine. These seedpods are bigger than seedpods of tree vines and large bugs are thus favored, meanwhile average size and small soapberry bugs cannot reach the seeds.
