Darwin Wasp

Labena grallator

Darwin Wasp

Adults occur around wooded habitats where suitable insect hosts develop beneath bark or within timber. They fly between trees and visit exposed surfaces while searching for host galleries. Females use a long, slender ovipositor to place an egg deep within a concealed host tunnel. Adults may take nectar or honeydew, but their offspring develop by parasitizing another insect.
