What eats the brown marmorated stink bug?
Parasitoid wasps, spiders, wheelbugs and woodlice are predators that eat brown marmorated stink bugs. The pentatomid in question (Halyomorpha halys) has a natural predator in China, the parasitoid wasp scientifically name Trissolcus japonicus, whose importation scientists in the United States of America are weighing against the current monitoring of the efficaciousness of native parasitoid wasps in soybean fields being preyed upon by brown marmorated stink bugs in Virginia. Scientists hope that birds will become significant predators through the United States.
Is the parasitic wasp real?
Yes. Parasitic or parasitoid wasps are not uncommon. What they parasitize depends on the species of wasp, but they commonly target insect larvae and spiders. They do not target humans

What eats the glassy winged sharpshooter?
The glassy winged sharpshooter is consumed by a variety of predators including birds, spiders, insects, and some parasitoid wasps. These predators help control the population of glassy winged sharpshooters in their natural ecosystem.
How can you get rid of ichneumon wasp in they're close to a pool?
Ichneumon wasps are highly specific parasitoid wasps. They will often have one specific target prey. Observe them and try to find out what they are after. Perhaps beetle grubs in your trees? If you get rid of their prey, you get rid of them as well.

What animal gets honeydew from aphids?
Ants are pretty much famous for farming the aphids, protecting them from harm and drumming them with their antennae to obtain honeydew. But I´ve also seen it in parasitoid wasps that would just as easily lay an egg inside their bodies afterwards to let their larva develop. Double benefit I guess!
What is the significance of the fat wasp-looking bug in the ecosystem?
The fat wasp-looking bug, also known as a parasitoid wasp, plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling populations of other insects. They lay their eggs inside other insects, which eventually kills the host insect. This helps to regulate insect populations and maintain balance in the ecosystem.
