Hello Friends, i want to know if anyone can offer tips regarding Issus coleoptratus:

today i found a nymph with a parasitic larva. I did some research and the parasite is supposed to be a wasp of the subfamily Dryininae (family Dryinidae). I understand that Issus feed on phloem. Will i be successful in feeding the nymph twigs and bark? i'd like to see the wasp emerge for identification but the nymph has to survive. Any tips?
