female laying eggs beneath leaves
Endoparasite of the larvae of sawflies, caterpillar parasites, or vespids. Her eggs are first eaten by foraging larvae (sawflies or caterpillars). They may develop directly (inside the sawfly), attack parasites already inside the caterpillar, or if the caterpillar captured by a vespid wasp and fed to its own larvae, then the trigonalid will strike. It’s a complex, convoluted tale that I plan to explore in a later blog post.
