Wasp

Les Encyrtidae sont une famille d'insectes hyménoptères apocrites de la super-famille des Chalcidoidea. Ils sont d'une grande importance en lutte biologique car tous sont entomophages. Morphologie Très petits insectes de 0,5 à 3,5 mm (1 mm en moyenne).

A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey.
