During oviposition, the embryo is killed and the immature wasp feeds on it until the completion of its development.
Egg parasitoids e.g. Trichogramma & Telenomus wasps. Larval parasitoids e.g. Netelia producta (Orange caterpillar parasite) & Tachinid flies. Larval - pupal parasitoids e.g. Heteropelma scaposum (Two-toned parasite) Pupal parasitoid - Ichneumon promissorius (Banded caterpillar parasite).
