The chalcid wasps (Superfamily Chalcidoidea) comprise a large group with over 2000 North American species. Nearly all species are very small; some are
the smallest of all known insects. There are a great number of pests attacked by members of this group and different parasite species attack different host
stages from egg to adult. Because of their small size, the wing venation is greatly reduced and generally distinctive. Also because of their small size, their
presence and importance are often overlooked, but they are considered to be one of the most important groups in both natural control and applied
biological control. [eng]
