Image Subject Name Scientific Name Description
1355008 Gonatocerus triguttatus Gonatocerus triguttatus This parasitic wasp lays its eggs in glassy-winged sharpshooter eggs embedded in leaves. Two new wasps, G. tuberculifemur and G. metanotalis, have recently been found to attack this sharpshooter's eggs as well.
1321059 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.
