Trichogramma Wasp Larva

Trichogramma brassicae (larva)

Trichogramma Wasp Larva

This tiny larva develops entirely inside the egg of a moth or butterfly, usually in crop fields, grasslands, and garden vegetation. It feeds on the host egg's contents, preventing the caterpillar from ever hatching. The legless larva remains concealed within its food source throughout this feeding stage.
