Parasitized dryinid larva

Parasitized dryinid larva
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
November 17, 2021
November 17, 2021: Swept this larva from weedy grassy roadside. Was extremely difficult to pick up with brush and would not stick to any surface it was on. Confined in baggie with clayey sandy soil. Promptly dug down into soil.
December 9, 2021: adult encyrtid

Emailed photos to Dr. Noyes, who responded that the adult "is indeed a male Cheiloneurus. It is very probably a male Cheiloneurus flaccus (Wallker) which has been reared from dryinid larvae. If you check Guerrieri and Viggiani (2005) (see UCD) there is a review of Cheiloneurus parasitoids of dryinids."
