red-tailed wasp |
Cardiochiles nigriceps |
These small wasps are parasites of budworms. They are about 3/8 inch long. Although the wings and front portion of these wasps are black and only the abdomen and hind legs are red, they appear red in color. Red-tail wasps are often seen hovering over tobacco buds or flowers in search of small budworm larvae. Once a female finds a larva, she inserts an egg into its body. The parasitized budworm will look normal and continue to develop to the 4th or 5th stage before it prematurely pupates and dies. |

Cotesia congregata |
The braconid wasp is an important parasite of the tobacco hornworm. The larval stage is a small, white legless grub that develops inside the hornworm. Parasitized hornworms are easily recognized after the wasp larvae spin their white football-shaped cocoons. When the parasite becomes an adult, it leaves through an opening in the end of the cocoon and searches for other hornworms. By late summer 90% or more of the hornworm found on tobacco may be parasitized. Hornworms with cocoons may live for several days but do not feed. Insecticides should not be applied if parasitized hornworms are abundant in the field. |

Braconid wasp |
Cotesia congregata |
This important parasitic wasp is a major factor in limiting hornworm numbers and damage, particularly late in the season. The tiny black wasp lays eggs in hornworms. Parasitized hornworms may be recognized by their shortened stubby horns. When these worms are broken open, the tiny, white parasitic larvae can be seen. When they complete their development, the parasites spin white, egg-shaped cocoons on the hornworm’s back. Parasitized hornworms damage tobacco much less and usually remain on the plant for a shorter time than normal hornworms. |
