Dear All:
I?m a new member with an interest in parasitoids of pest flies (e.g., Musca domestica, Stomoxys calcitrans).
Anyone on the list with a similar interest?
Cheers!
Kevin

Here we can see one pteromalid
Muscidifurax raptor parasiting a Musca domestica pupa. There are other parasitoids like the M. raptorellus that do the same.
