Braconid wasp (small cocoon wasp) - Braconid wasp

Japanese: コマユバチ(小繭蜂) - コマユバチ
Braconid wasp (small cocoon wasp) - Braconid wasp
A general term for insects belonging to the family Braconidae in the order Hymenoptera. There are more than 5,000 species of parasitic wasps known worldwide, with nearly 300 species known in Japan, including the horse wasp (figure), the green caterpillar samurai braconid wasp (illustration), and the clear-leaved braconid wasp. They are very similar to the Ichneumonidae family, but can be easily distinguished by the lack of transverse veins at the tip of the forewing. They parasitize the larvae, pupae, and sometimes adults of Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Mecoptera, and Psocoptera.
