WIS Participates in NSF’s National Wasp-Plant-Bug Digitization Effort

Posted on July 15, 2011

All the nearly 20,000 plant species in North America are attacked by insect pests, including those in the group Hemiptera (known as the “true bugs”), which are in turn attacked by parasitoid insects in the Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants), widely used for biological control of agricultural pests.
