Thank you very much! As far as I know the members of this genus are parasitoids of Hemiptera larvae! |

Parasitoid is not the true word. Sphecid wasps are real predators, who catch other insects or spiders (Hemiptera is correct in the case of the present Gorytes sp.), paralyze them and the larve will feed the living prey. Regards, Christian |
