Parasitoid larvae emerges inside the cocoon, eats the host and overwinters as larvae inside host cocoon. If the host was previously parasitized by D.inconspicua , then E.abruptorius dies. P.basizonus and D.fuscipennis attack host cocoons. They are ectoparasites. D. fuscipennis wins the competition with P.basizonus .
Estimate mortality caused by each natural enemy, convert it into k-value.
Write results in the table, putting mortality processes in the order of their operation. 200 Total 500 Mortality process Number of eggs in which this mortality process can be detected Number of killed eggs Mortality Survival k-value 1. Estimate mortality in a predator-exclusion experiment. Gypsy moth larvae were collected in the forest at 7-day intervals and placed individually in the cups with diet. 300 laboratory-reared pupae were placed on tree boles.
