	Chalcid wasp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of the species are parasitoids of other insects, attacking the egg or larval stage of their host.
		Generally beneficial to humans as a group, chalcids keep crop pests under control, and many species have been imported to control insect pests.
		Chalcids are tiny, dark-coloured wasps, often metallic blue or green with complex sculpturing on the body.

	MSN Encarta - Wasp
		Insects known as wasps include the sawflies, the parasitic wasps, and the stinging wasps, which are the best known.
		In the vegetarian sawflies, the abdomen is broadly attached to the thorax and the ovipositor is rigid; in the higher wasps, the abdomen is flexibly attached to the thorax and the ovipositor is movable.
		Wasp nests may be as simple as a straight burrow in the ground, like those made by the females of many digger wasps.

		The wasp is a mini beast with six legs and a sting.
		There are five different kinds of wasps such as the common wasp, the digger wasp and a chalcid wasp.
		The female wasps were the only wasps that have a sting, the male wasps do not have a sting.

		Remember that wasps feed themselves nectar and pollen, so an insect on a flower gathering nectar could be either a bee or a wasp.
		This will either be a spider wasp (looking for spiders to provision its nest with) or a kind of sand wasp that hunts for grasshoppers or katydids.
		On the left is a little chalcid wasp sitting on an egg (could be a Drosophila egg).

		Chalcid Wasp parasite on Tailed Emperor Butterfly pupa
		However, about two weeks later, we saw there are many holes on the pupa and more than 20 Chalcid Wasps had came out from the pupa.
		This might indicate that the pupas were parasite by wasp or fly.

	Brazilian peppertree seed chalcid - Megastigmus transvaalensis (Hussey)
		Body length for female wasps ranges from 3.1 to 3.4 mm; the length of the abdomen and ovipositor range in size from 1.2 to 1.4 and 1.5 to 1.9 mm, respectively.
		Prior to emergence of the adult wasp, it is difficult to distinguish between attacked and unattacked drupes as there apparently is no external evidence of the insect developing inside the seed.
		The wasp is currently being redistributed to remote areas infested with Brazilian peppertree such as the Everglades National Park where the insect is not established.

	Biological Control Agents of Multiflora Rose
		Later, Milliron (1949) reported that the rose seed chalcid "now appears to be well established in parts of the Atlantic Seaboard." Scott (1965) found large numbers of the rose seed chalcid at the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge near Washington, D.C., with infestation rates around 95% percent.
		Mays and Kok (1988) reported a survey for the chalcid in multiflora rose seed in Virginia during 1985 and 1986 and found average infestation rates of 26.5% (range of 2-59%) and 23.9% (range of 2-52%), respectively, in 50 of 51 counties surveyed.
		We believe that the chalcid will eventually find and utilize 90% or more of the multiflora rose seed in the eastern United States and act as a powerful biological control for the weed, helping to reduce its rate of spread to a low level.

	Simple top lighting for the compound microscope
		The history is made even more bizarre in that while this gall is produced by an asexual generation of wasp, a completely different gall, on another species of oak, is produced by the next, sexual generation of the same wasp.
		Then there are 'inquilines'; wasps which lay their eggs in the developing gall to feed on the vegetable matter inside it.
		Finally there are 'parasitoids', chalcid wasps which lay their eggs inside the causer or inquiline larvae, using them as living food stores, but finally killing them.

		The chalcid wasp feeds on and lays it's eggs in the asparagus beetle's eggs.
		Wasp larvae then develope inside the beetle larvae.
		Kinda like the movie "Alien" or "Aliens", where the beetle larvae don't know they are infected until the wasp larvae pop out and kill them.

	Collecting Chalcidoidea
		These wasps parasitize (rarely predate) a wide variety of immature arthropods: 13 orders of Insecta, two orders of Arachnida and one family of Nematoda (Grissel and Schauff 1997).
		Chalcidoidea is characterized by highly reduced forewing venation consisting of (at most) a single vein complex subdivided into submarginal, marginal, postmarginal and stigmal veins (Chalcid wing).
		To the generalist collector sweeping in the field, the apparency of these hymenopterans is going to be limited to those that don’t escape through the large holes in the net bag of a conventional butterfly net.

	Chalcid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Most of the species are parasitoids of other insects, attacking the egg orlarval stage of their host.
		A few species are phytophagous and the larvae feed inside seeds, stems,and galls.
		Generally beneficial to humans as a group, chalcids keep crop pests undercontrol, and many species have been imported to control insect pests.

		It could be the pupa of the parasitic wasp.
		As a Chalcid Wasp, this wasp was quite large.
		It was golden brown in typical wasp colour, had the Chalcid Wasp characteristic of straight thick antenna and enlarged hind legs.

	Biological Control Agents
		Wasp larva is a key factor in leafminer suppression.
		In some pest species, chalcid parasitism may exceed 50 percent of the population.
		Adults generally larger than other wasp parasites, with a long ovipositor.

		The distribution of the BP Wasp is based on presence or absence by county.
		Although Monroe County is identified on the map, I don't have immediate access to specific locations where the wasp was recovered in Monroe County proper.

		Distribution of the Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, and the seed chalcid wasp, Megastigmus transvaalensis (Hussey), in Florida in mid-2002.
		After the larvae of the Brazilian peppertree seed chalcid attain their maximum size, they transform into the pupal stage and remain in a prolonged diapause (or resting) period for several months.
		The complete life history of the Brazilian peppertree seed chalcid has not been investigated but a generalized biology of seed-attacking Megastigmus wasps was described by (Milliron 1949).

	Multiflora Rose Control, Bulletin 857, Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Increasingly, three biotic agents are providing significant natural biological control: 1) rose rosette disease, a virus; 2) rose seed chalcid, a wasp; and 3) the rose stem girdler, a beetle.
		Unfortunately, these agents have not yet sufficiently reduced multiflora stands in most areas to warrant ceasing use of chemical, mechanical, or grazing control.
		Rose rosette disease and rose seed chalcid wasp are expected to intensify in future years to provide widespread biological control.

	Antlion Pit: What are Antlions?
		For example, the larvae of the Australian horsefly Scaptia muscula live inside antlion larvae pits, where they share the spoils of the antlions' trapping abilities (Ramel 1995).
		A species of chalcid wasp, Lasiochalcidia igiliensis, is also an antlion parasite.
		The wasp provokes a host antlion larva into grabbing the parasite's legs in its mandibles, at which time the parasite oviposits into the membrane between the larva's head and thorax (Systematic Entomology Laboratory).
