Egg-parasitoids wasp of Mnais pruinosa
The final renewal day of this page is January 8, 2006.
In Kinki area we can see Mnais pruinosa usually. The fright period is a July end from the end of April. Mnais pruinosa lays eggs to moss and small driftwood. I was not finding an egg parasitoids wasp from the egg of Mnais pruinosa in moss heretofore. I was able to find a few egg parasitoid wasps from the egg of Mnais pruinosa that laid eggs into moss this time.
