Braconid wasp
Coeloides
vancouverensis
Dalla Torre, 1898
Host: Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae
Hopkins, 1905)
Descriptor: Adult(s)
Description: Coeloides vancouverensis (Dalla Torre) ovipositing through Douglas-fir bark onto Douglas-fir beetle larvae. This photo shows that in the laboratory rearing program the thickness of the bark had been routinely shaved to a thickness less than the ovipositor length to allow easy access to the host. In the field, thick bark provides sanctuary except in crevices and tree tops.
