Parasitic arthropods and parasitoids

Eggs of Pentadomidae bugs, parasitized by a Hymenoptera Platigastridae Scelioninae. The parasitoid imago escaped from its host.
The mites of the Trombidiidae family are ectoparasites at the larval stage (arrow), here on Ichneumonidae.
Endoparasitism: exit of the adult parasitoid (chalcidian) from the host's pupa, here a diptera.
Sciomyzidae (Diptera) larvae developing at the expense of a snail. In the insert: adult of the parasitic Diptera of the genus <em> Limnia </em> sp.
Pupation cocoons of Braconidae having parasitized a moth caterpillar. In the insert, adult emerging from a cocoon.
Parasitoid Diptera of the Tachinaria family (caterpillar flies). In the center, pupation of the parasitoid with the rest of the host; inset at the top: the host caterpillar; inset below: adult parasitoid emerging from the pupa.
<b><i>Hymenoptera Rogadinae</b></i> of the Braconidae family are budworm parasitoids, here the insect's pupa with the parasitoid exit hole
Cocon bicolore de Campopleginae, hyménoptère Ichneumonidae, parasitoïde de chenilles.
Parasitoid tachin flies of phytophagous bugs: <b> <em> Gymnosoma rotundatum </em> </b> on the left and <b> <em> Trichopoda pennipes </em>.
