Tetrastichus asparagi Crawford, 1909 | |
Tetrastichus coeruleus is a gregarious koinobiont wasp which can be used as a biological control agent for the common asparagus beetle. [1]
It was originally named Tetrastichus asparagi Crawford, [2] thus most of the literature about this species has been published under this other name. [3]
Tetrastichus coeruleus has populations which are infected with the parthenogenesis-inducing Wolbachia and populations which are not. [4]
On average, 4.75 T. coeruleus adults emerge per larva, though this ranges between 2 and 13 specimens per larva. [5]
