Abstract： Parasitoid wasps play an important role in suppressing populations of insect pests. Parasitoid wasps are diverse in species, parasitic habits and host range. In order to survey parasitoid wasps in general and on pests in particular, we developed a suite of technologies for the surveying and sampling of parasitoid wasps in nature and in agroecosystems.
