Livestock grazing comparison units are used by many governments to measure and control the intensity of farming. For example, until 2004 the UK Government had an extensification scheme which paid additional subsidy to farmers who kept their livestock at less than an average of 1.4 LUs per hectare.
Female specimen. M. procer is a large tropical wasp with a body length of 46–77 mm (1.8–3.0 in). [2] The body is primarily black with yellowish markings on the front and vertex of the head, pronotum, scutellum, metanotum, medial spot on the first gastral tergite, and a pair of anterolateral spots on the third gastal tergite.
However, wasp cocoons protected in this way develop into adults that produce fewer eggs, due to the energy demands of maintaining a living protector. [11] Ladybirds paralyzed, twitching, and attached to the cocoon of D. coccinellae have been compared to zombies by many writers. [11] [12] [13] After 6–9 days, the wasp emerges from the cocoon. [7]
However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Females typically have an ovipositor for laying eggs in or near a food source for the larvae, though in the Aculeata the ovipositor is often modified instead into a sting used for defense or prey capture. Wasps play many ecological roles.
The body of a female is c. 2 inches (50 mm) long, with an ovipositor c. 4 inches (100 mm) long. Females of the parasitoid wasp Neoneurus vesculus ovipositing in workers of the ant Formica cunicularia. Parasitized white cabbage larvae showing wasp larvae exiting its body, spinning cocoons. Playback at double speed.
In all, perhaps 700,000 or so parasitoid wasp species are estimated to exist, but it’s probable that the number is far higher. Even the parasitoids are not immune to victimization.
