Trichogrammatidae parasitize insect eggs. For example, Aphidiinae (a subfamily of Braconidae) attack aphids. Parasitic wasps occur in over three dozen Hymenoptera families. Most parasitic insects are either flies (Order Diptera) or wasps (Order Hymenoptera). Species useful in biological control, and discussed here, kill their hosts they are more precisely called вЂњparasitoids.вЂќ However, adult females of certain parasites (such as many wasps that attack scales and whiteflies) feed on and kill their hosts, providing an easily overlooked but important source of biological control in addition to the host mortality caused by parasitism.ДЄlthough the term вЂњparasiteвЂќ is used here, true parasites (e.g., fleas and ticks) do not typically kill their hosts. Often only the immature stage of the parasite feeds on the host.

Insect parasites can develop on the inside or outside of the hostвЂ™s body. ParasitesДЄ parasite is an organism that lives and feeds in or on a host.

Learn how to recognize natural enemies by consulting resources such as the Natural Enemies Handbook and the Natural Enemies Gallery. Most parasites and pathogens, and many predators, are highly specialized and attack a limited number of closely related pest species. Parasites, pathogens, and predators are the primary groups used in biological control of insects and mites ( Table 1). Conservation, augmentation, and classical biological control are tactics for harnessing natural enemiesвЂ™ benefits. Plant pathogens, nematodes, and vertebrates also have many natural enemies, but this biological control is often harder to recognize, less well understood, and/or more difficult to manage. Use of natural enemies for biological control of rangeland and wildland weeds (e.g., Klamath weed, St. Biocontrol provided by these living organisms, collectively called вЂњnatural enemies,вЂќ is especially important for reducing the numbers of pest insects and mites.

Aphid mummies and a parasitic wasp (Lysiphlebus testaceipes).Д«iological control is the beneficial action of parasites, pathogens, and predators in managing pests and their damage.
