Parasitoidism evolved only once in the Hymenoptera, during the Permian , leading to a single clade , but the parasitic lifestyle has secondarily been lost several times including among the ants , bees , and yellowjacket wasps . (kiddle.co)
Most stinging insects are of the order Hymenoptera, which is made up of multiple families, including 3 that are clinically important: Apidae (bees), Vespidae (wasps), and Formicidae (ants). (medscape.com)
Pollination among most deciduous forests is primarily accomplished by the insect orders Hymenoptera (native bees and solitary wasps), Coleoptera (beetles), and Diptera (syrphid flies). (tallahassee.com)
Coleoptera2
Small Lepidoptera larvae and sometimes chrysomelid larvae (Coleoptera). (bwars.com)
Examination of the competitive interactions between endemic solitary Hymenoptera and yellowjackets revealed that endemic bees and wasps do not forage in the vicinity of yellowjacket nests. (confex.com)
The Lepidoptera have complete metamorphosis, and the larvae are with few exceptions terrestrial herbivores. (biodiversity.no)
Parasitoid wasp species differ in which host life-stage they attack: eggs, larvae, pupae, or adults. (kiddle.co)
but endoparasitic koinobiont wasp larvae eventually fill its body and kill it. (kiddle.co)
Upon sensing the vibrations emitted by such insect larvae, the female wasp will drill her ovipositor into the substrate until it reaches the cavity wherein lies the larva. (cirrusimage.com)
Vespidae3
Polistes bahamensis is a large species of colourful paper wasp in the genus Polistes of the family Vespidae which occurs in the Bahamas, Florida and Louisiana. (wikipedia.org)
The Vespidae are a large (about 5000 species), assorted cosmopolitan family of wasps, counting about all the known eusocial wasps (such as Polistes spp. (springeropen.com)
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets (Vespidae family members) do not have barbed stingers and, as such, can sting multiple times. (medscape.com)
Originally described from Africa, the genus Eccopsis Zeller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) currently includes 25 Afrotropical and five Neotropical species. (bioone.org)
2005 ). The paper wasp genus Polistes Latreille, 1802, is an imperative model group for behavioral and developmental studies (Tibbetts 2007 and Jandt et al. (springeropen.com)
Parasitoid wasps5
Parasitoid wasps are a large group of hymenopteran superfamilies, with all but the wood wasps (Orussoidea) being in the wasp-waisted Apocrita . (kiddle.co)
The parasitoid wasps include some very large groups, some estimates giving the Chalcidoidea as many as 500,000 species, the Ichneumonidae 100,000 species, and the Braconidae up to 50,000 species. (kiddle.co)
Host insects have evolved a range of defences against parasitoid wasps, including hiding, wriggling, and camouflage markings. (kiddle.co)
Many parasitoid wasps are considered beneficial to humans because they naturally control agricultural pests. (kiddle.co)
Parasitoid wasps range from some of the smallest species of insects to wasps about an inch long. (kiddle.co)
Cynipidae1
Also recorded nesting in disused galls of Andricus kollari (Hartig) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). (bwars.com)
Larval1
Experimental removal of V. pensylvanica colonies resulted in significant increase in the local abundances of larval Lepidoptera and Araneae. (confex.com)
Caterpillars1
During field surveys for wasps parasitizing M. gigas , we discovered a new species of Glyptapanteles Ashmead, 1904 ( Braconidae , Microgastrinae ) associated with the caterpillars feeding specifically on mosses. (pensoft.net)
The accidental introduction to Madeira of the invasive chestnut gall wasp (CGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus, is reviewed, as is the subsequent biological control programme implemented by the Regional authorities. (researchgate.net)
The Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, native to China, was first detected in Europe in Italy in 2002. (researchgate.net)
Solitary wasps1
Trap nest data also indicate that the presence of yellowjacket nests in the fall influences the distribution and abundance of solitary wasps in the subsequent spring. (confex.com)
Special rules apply for work with hymenopterans with venomous stingers like wasps, bees, and bumblebees. (lu.se)
Apocrita1
Apocrita, one of two suborders of the insect order Hymenoptera, the other being Symphyta. (britannica.com)
Spiders2
the spider wasps (Pompilidae) exclusively attack spiders . (kiddle.co)
Stings by members of the order Hymenoptera and order Scorpionida are discussed in other articles, as are bites of venomous arachnids in the class Arachnida (spiders) and bites of the order Acarina (mites and ticks). (medscape.com)
Superfamily1
Some endoparasitic wasps of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea have a mutualistic relationship with polydnaviruses , the viruses suppressing the host's immune defenses. (kiddle.co)
North America1
There are approximately 3,000 species in North America - more than any other Hymenoptera family. (cirrusimage.com)
Hymenopteras such as bees, wasps and bumblebees have stingers, which can develop into different types of allergies if you get stung, at worst life-threatening reactions (anaphylactic shock). (lu.se)
Linnaeus1
This study investigated the genetic diversity among the three wasps, Vespa orientalis Linnaeus, Polistes bucharensis Erichson, and Polistes mongolicus du Buysson, collected from three different governorates in Egypt, using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcoding. (springeropen.com)
Prey1
these are quick and dangerous prey, often as large as the wasp itself, but the spider wasp is quicker, swiftly stinging her prey to immobilise it. (kiddle.co)
Populations2
The known range has expanded as certain populations of wasps were determined to be this species, and with the collection of more specimens. (wikipedia.org)
In spite of the wide geographical range, minor genetic diversity was observed between some populations of the three wasp species, revealing unrestricted gene flow between them. (springeropen.com)
Arthropods3
Because Hawaii has no native social insects, endemic arthropods may be particularly sensitive to predation and competition from this invasive wasp. (confex.com)
Wasps are important to natural and biological pest control because they are predators or parasitoids of pest arthropods. (springeropen.com)
Wasps are predators or parasitoids of pest arthropods, so they are imperative to normal and biological control of pests (Hunt 2007 ). (springeropen.com)
Invasive1
A microparasitic wasp ( Leptopilina japonica ) that attacks the invasive spotted wing Drosophila . (usda.gov)
