One drone and wasp keeper used for pollinisation (artificial breeding
outfit) is experiencing much problem which seem to come from the wowbug
(mellitobia acasta or digitata).
The wowbug female lay many eggs in the larva of the host (drone, wasp or
perhaps bees?) and destroy progressively all the larvae of the host.
The question for the list is:
Has anyone experienced this kind of parasitic problem coming from the wowbug
and is there a solution to eliminate this wowbug?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
