Parasitized eggs

In a Calabur tree there were insect eggs that, because of their dark coloration, seemed to have been parasitized. They were collected and monitored until its outbreak.




It was confirmed that the eggs were parasitized, apparently by insects of two genera, Gryon and Telenomus, which are still pending confirmation.
I did gather the eggs but the microscope photos and the identification of the genera were done by the entomologist Dr. Valmir A. Costa, and they are presented here with his permission.
Comments and any help to the identifications are welcome.




To access the observations, "explore" filtering for the person's name "nelson_wisnik" and the Description/tags "calabura" and "parasite". You are welcome.
