    A generalised diagram of a parasitoid1 wasp life cycle. Different species2 will differ in regards to the number of eggs laid and whether they lay eggs on the host3 or inject a single egg into the host.

    1. parasitoid: An organism that has young that develop on or within another organism (the host), eventually killing it.
    2. species: (Abbreviation sp. or spp.) A division used in the Linnean system of classification or taxonomy. A group of living organisms that can interbreed to produce viable offspring.
    3. host: An organism that contains a parasite or other dependent organism. Hosts usually provide the dependent organism with food and shelter.
