Field Notes

Description:

The Eucharitidae are a family of parasitic wasps known as eucharitid wasps. Eucharitids are specialized parasitoids of ants, meaning each species is usually only parasitic of one genus of ant. Furthermore, they are one of the few parasitoids that have been able to use ants as hosts, despite ants’ effective defense systems against most parasitoids.

Habitat:

Seen at a rainforest.
