Muscidifurax raptor |
Mucidifurax raptor wasp on a fly puparium. Once the female chooses a suitable puparium host, she lays a single egg in it. The egg hatches, and the wasp larva feeds on the fly pupa. |

Muscidifurax raptor |
House fly puparia, each with a hole from which a single wasp emerged after feeding on the pupa. Feeding occurs in the larval stage, and the wasp eventually emerges as an adult. |

Parasites |
Catolaccus grandis |
A female Catolaccus grandis wasp homes in on a boll weevil larva. This 3/8 inch parasitic wasp, a native of Mexico, inserts her ovipositor through the plastic film covering the individual rearing cell and immobilizes the larva. From the larva she withdraws nourishment sufficient to complete development of her eggs. Later, she or another female will revisit the boll weevil larva and deposit an egg next to it. The larva soon becomes an easy meal for a newly-hatched wasp larva. |
