The Canadian Entomologist, 1879 On two occasions I have observed Allantus basilaris (Say) Nort. ♀ devouring another insect; in one instance the larva of a Chrysopa, in the other a small flower beetle of the genus Phalacrus. Although no such habit has been recorded previously in regard to any American species, it does not appear to be entirely without precedent among the European ...

Differing success of defense strategies in two parasitoid wasps in protecting their pupae against a secondary hyperparasitoid [PDF]
, 2011 During their larval development, endoparasitoids are known to dispose of host resources in several different ways. Some parasitoid wasps consume most or all tissues of the host, whereas others consume a small fraction of host resources and either ensure ...

Intrinsic competition and its effects on the survival and development of three species of endoparasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2009 In natural systems, pre-adult stages of some insect herbivores are known to be attacked by several species of parasitoids. Under certain conditions, hosts may be simultaneously parasitized by more than one parasitoid species (= multiparasitism), even ...
