Diversity of Species and Behavior of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Ants: A Review by Jean-Paul Lachaud, Gabriela Pérez-Lachaud

“…Some species parasitize adult worker ants while foraging or performing other activities outside the nest; however, in most cases, parasitoids attack ant larvae either inside or outside their nests. Based on their abundance and success in attacking ants, some parasitoid wasps like diapriids and eucharitids seem excellent potential models to explore how parasitoids impact ant colony demography, population biology, and ant community structure. …”
