 Larra wasps; mole cricket hunters
They are solitary wasps, have no communal nests to guard, and are not "aggressive." All of them are parasitoids, and all, so far as is known, attack only mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) but, to each Larra species, not all mole cricket species are acceptable hosts (Bohart and Menke 1978, Menke 1992).
Although Neocurtilla and Scapteriscus belong to the same family (Gryllotalpidae: mole crickets), they are only distantly related to one another.
It is important to realize that there are more than 80 species of mole crickets worldwide, that they have a long evolutionary history over at least tens of millions of years, and that the genus Scapteriscus evolved in South America.

 Morphological and Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses of Gryllotalpidae:
In addition, DNA sequence data will be compared for the same species.
A morphological phylogeny for Gryllotalpidae was constructed to determine if the different species express a similar trait because they inherited it from a common ancestor or because they acquired it independently.
The phylogenies account for the history of character change and allow for hypotheses to be developed regarding the course of the mole crickets’ evolution and the correlation of this with behavior traits.
