braconid
/ˈbrakənɪd
/noun Entomology
A small parasitic wasp of a family (Braconidae) which is related to the ichneumons. Unlike the latter, braconids lay numerous eggs in a single host.We used the braconid Asobara tabida, a parasitoid of Drosophila larvae, as our model species....
- Because previous studies showed that the Braconidae has a particularly high A-content, we repeated this test for the Apocrita after removing the braconid.
- The eggs hatch and the young braconids feed on the viscera of the hornworm until they pupate as shown in the photo.
Origin
Late 19th century: from modern Latin Braconidae (plural), formed irregularly from Greek brakhus 'short'.
