These are much larger than the chalcid flies and are called Ichneumon flies. |
Tiny flowers are perfect for attracting delicate beneficials like chalcid wasps and hover flies, whose larvae devour aphids. |
All species analyzed in this study are organized according to current chalcid taxonomy. |
The ears are distinct, whereas in the chalcid they are hidden under the skin. |
Such parasites include ichneumon, chalcid, pteromalid, figitid, ensign wasp, and bethylid. |
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. |
