Description
Figure 10 Adults of Apanteles mimoristae Muesebeck recently emerged from the irregular mass of cocoons (center). Both sexes emerged from a single caterpillar of the zebra worm, Melitara cf. nephelepasa (Pyralidae) feeding on Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae) commercial plots from Milpa Alta, Mexico City, MX. The mass of cocoons in the center of the Petri dish shows compact, oval cocoons made up of tightly arranged silk threads.
