| 説明 | This tiny Scelionid wasp (~1mm) was seen for nearly 2 weeks "attending" the eggs of a Pentatomidae (Heteroptera). They are generally idiobionts, attacking the eggs of many different types of insects or spiders as endoparasites, and many are important in biological control. She has probably been busy in "marking" the eggs that she has parasitised with a pheromone so that other members of her own species do not use them, rather than protecting them from hyperparasitoids [Dr. John La Salle, 2011].The members of the Genus Trissoleus are specialised to parasitise Pentatomidae (Heteroptera) [faunistic.net]; maybe this Scelionid wasp belongs to this genus.Family: ScelionidaeSuperfamily Platygastroidea[det. John La Salle, 2011, based on photos]Suborder: Apocrita (Schnür- oder Taillenwespen)Order: Hymenoptera (Hautflügler)more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scelionidaehedgerowmobile.com/Scelionidae.htmlwww.faunistik.net/PONLINE/HYMENOPTERA/PROCTOTRUPOIDEA/SCE...BUG EGGS:Family: Pentatomidae (Baumwanzen)Suborder: Heteroptera (real bugs, Wanzen)Order: Hemiptera (true bugs, Schnabelkerfe)Indonesia, W-Java, 10 km S Tangerang: vic.
