All the details

This is where we will highlight specific details of our research in greater depth.

When are earwigs friends or foes?

This study aimed to understand under what conditions earwigs are likely to cause damage, and what other roles they might have in grain crops.

A braconid parasitic wasp attacking a caterpillar larvae and ovipositing (hopefully) inside the host. The larvae will grow inside the caterpillar eventually hatching out and killing the host.

Video of Eretmocerus hayati is a parasitic wasp that attacks Silverleaf whitefly pests in various crops. You can see the wasp ovipositing eggs into the whitefly host and the wasp hatching out after it has killed the host.
