Appearance
Adults Diglyphus: size 2-3 mm, metallic green, short antennae
Other stages: develop near host
Mode of action
Female adult parasitic wasp of Diglyphus isaea kills leaf-miner larva in the mine and lays an egg on it. The egg develops into a parasitic wasp inside the mine (but outside the leaf miner), using the dead larva as food. Host-feeding also takes place.
Visual effect
Two weeks after introduction it is possible to see parasitization. The presence of Diglyphus isaea is recognized by short/stopped mines containing a dead larva. Pupae of Diglyphus isaea can be seen when holding leaves up to the light.
