Indian chalcid wasps of the genus Dirhinus parasitic on synanthropic and other Diptera. |
In some cases the pupa was being devoured by the minute larv of a chalcid fly, and in one cell only the dried skin remained. |
Tiny flowers are perfect for attracting delicate beneficials like chalcid wasps and hover flies, whose larvae devour aphids. |
Such parasites include ichneumon, chalcid, pteromalid, figitid, ensign wasp, and bethylid. |
The chalcid wasps that develop in fig tree inflorescences have often been used to study alternative reproductive behaviors. |
We identified a high level of mortality to stem beetles due to the attack of the chalcid. |
