- entomologist · plausible
“Diadegma insulare is a well-documented ichneumonid parasitoid of Plutella xylostella larvae; nectar feeding enhancing adult longevity/fecundity is consistent with hymenopteran parasitoid biology.”
- agroecologist · plausible
“Diadegma insulare is a well-documented ichneumonid parasitoid of Plutella xylostella; wildflower nectar enhancing parasitoid longevity and foraging is standard tritrophic biocontrol ecology.”
