B. aHost selection by insect parasitoids.h[electronic resource] c1976 aInsects that are parasitic only during their immature stages are termed protelean parasites (11). The protelean parasites that attack invertebrates nearly always destroy their hosts. These parasites are often described as parasitoids, a term coined by reuter (167) to differentiate them from the typical parasites. Parasitoids include a vast number of species of the so-called parasitic Hymenoptera, the Strepsiptera, and a few of the Diptera, primarily in the family Tachinidae. Although there are a few exceptions, insect parasitoids appear as typical parasites during their early developmental stages and letter destroy the host to live as free adults aHost selection aInsect aInsetos aParasitas tAnnual Review of Entomologygv. 21, p. 109-133, 1976.
