They are most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also most diverse in such areas. Members of the largest subfamily, Chrysidinae , are the most familiar they are generally cleptoparasite s, laying their eggs in host nests, where their larvae consume the host egg or larva while it is still young, then consuming the provisions. Chrysidines are distinguished from the members of other subfamilies in that most can curl into a defensive ball, in a process known as conglobation. This ability is shared with pill bug s, pill millipede s which are often mistaken for pill bugs , and armadillo es. Members of the other subfamilies are parasitoid s, of either sawflies or Phasmatodea walking stick s, and cannot fold up into a ball.

Most of the species are parasitoid s of other insects, attacking the egg or larval stage of their host, though many other life cycles are known. These hosts are to be found in at least 12 different insect orders including Lepidoptera butterflies and moths , Diptera true flies , beetle Coleoptera beetles , Hemiptera true bugs , and other Hymenoptera, as well as two orders of Arachnida , and even one family of nematode s. A few species are phytophagous and the larvae feed inside seeds, stems, and gall s. Generally beneficial to humans as a group, chalcids keep various crop pests under control, and many species have been imported to control insect pests. They can be found almost everywhere, particularly on flowers, foliage, and in leaf litter, but are often overlooked due to their very small size, which includes the smallest of all known insects Dicopomorpha echmepterygis . Chalcids are tiny, dark coloured wasps, often metallic blue or green with complex sculpturing on the body. They are also recognized by the characteristic reduced wing venation, similar to that seen in other superfamilies of parasitic wasp s.

This article is about the nineteenth century magazine. For the nineteenth century newspaper published in Nauvoo, Illinois, see The Wasp newspaper . The Wasp was a magazine based in San Francisco . Background The Wasp was founded as a weekly satire magazine by the Bohemian expat Francis Korbel and his two brothers in San Francisco in 1876. The magazine was somewhat unique at the time, owing to the Korbels expertise in mass producing color lithographs in print, a process they had come to master in their first business, the manufacture of labeled cigar boxes. The magazine was sold in secret in 1881 to Charles Webb Howard , who hired Edward C. Macfarlane as publisher. Ambrose Bierce was hired as editor soon afterward, serving in that role from January 1, 1881 until September 11, 1885. During Bierce s editorial tenure, The Wasp published several serialized installments of his satirical definitions later collected as The Devil s Dictionary . Political cartoons from The Wasp are often cited in Asian American anti defamation materials as an example of early stereotyping of Chinese immigrants.

The species can be seen in warm weather, from May to September. Diet This species feeds on flower nectar . Sexual dimorphism The female is larger than the male. The female s head is yellow or orange, whereas the male s head is black or dark coloured. Parasitic behaviour Mammoth wasps are parasitic of the European rhinoceros beetle larva, since the female mammoth wasp stings the larva to paralyze it, and then lays one egg in its outer skin. The egg will then hatch and the mammoth wasp larva will feed on its host, until it is able to build a cocoon and develop into an adult mammoth wasp. It will stay in the cocoon over winter, and will emerge only in spring.

Unreferenced type animal date December 2009 Taxobox name Wood wasp regnum Animal ia phylum Arthropod a classis Insect a ordo Hymenoptera subordo Symphyta familia Xiphydriidae , Orussidae , Anaxyelidae or Siricidae The term wood wasp is a colloquial name applied to various unrelated families of Symphyta , whose only shared feature is that the larvae are found in wood. The name is thus applied to wood wasps family Xiphydriidae , parasitic wood wasps family Orussidae , cedar wood wasps Family Anaxyelidae , or, at times, to horntails family Siricidae . The female in the latter two of these groups has a long ovipositor at the back of her body which gives her a dangerous look, but they cannot use them to sting.
