Currently in the lab working on identifying parasitoid wasps to species (ha!) or atleast to genus level. These parasitoid wasps were collected in Puerto Rico and some of them were retrieved from leaf-miners. I guess a future paper topic would be the effect of local and landscape environment on parasitism rate.
Biggest family in the Puerto Rico case is the Eulophidae- having a hard time identifying to species- though genus Chrysocharis was easily founded.
The samples include Braconidaes (with a chelate) and Encyrtidaes (not even going to bother with genus and species).
