Meteorus hyphantriae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae and subfamily. [1] [2] As part of the Meteorus , it is also a part of the subfamily Euphorinae and the tribe Meteorini. [3]

Ecology

As a parasitoid, part of the lifecycle of M. hyphantriae is dependent on development in a host. It has been found to have multiple hosts. These include Hyphantria cunea (the fall webworm), Malacosoma americana (Eastern tent caterpillar), Malacosoma disstria (Forest tent caterpillar moth), Drasteria erechtea , Meliana albilinea (Wheat-head army-worm), Acronicta ovata and others.
