Recently scientists found that a solitary ground-nesting wasp, the European beewolf wasp, harbors Streptomyces bacteria on its antennae and that the wasp uses these bacterial symbionts to protect the wasp larvae against pathogenic fungi.
This would be a commensal relationship, where the wasps benefit, but the bacteria are not affected one way or the other.

What is the smallest creature that has a heart etc?
Dicopomorpha echmepterygis is a parasitic wasp in the family Mymaridae. The males of this species are the smallest of all known insects. They are blind and wingless and may be no more than 0.139 mm in length (smaller than a single-celled paramecium). Females are 40% larger. Obviously, the eggs and larvae of this wasp are considerably smaller than the adult.This species from Illinois is an idiobiont parasitoid of the eggs of a lepidopsocid barklouse, Echmepteryx hageni. The adult males mate with their sisters inside the host egg, and die without ever leaving the egg; similar life histories can be found in the wasp family Trichogrammatidae, also in the superfamily Chalcidoidea.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicopomorpha_echmepterygis

Relationship between the larvae of small wasps and caterpillars?
Small wasp larvae are parasitoids of caterpillars, meaning they develop by feeding on caterpillars from the inside. The female wasp lays her eggs inside the caterpillar, and the hatched larvae consume the caterpillar's body tissues until they are ready to pupate. This relationship benefits the wasp by providing a food source and can be harmful to the caterpillar as it results in its eventual death.
What type of symbiotic relationship does figs and fig wasps have?
Figs and fig wasps engage in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The female fig wasp pollinates the fig's flowers while laying her eggs inside the fig's specialized flower structures. In return, the fig provides a safe environment and nourishment for the developing larvae. This relationship is crucial for the reproduction of both the fig and the wasp, as the wasp's life cycle depends on the fig, and the fig relies on the wasp for pollination.
7 Where do caterpillar wasps lay their eggs?
1) Where do caterpillar wasps lay their eggs? 1) Where do caterpillar wasps lay their eggs? Caterpillar wasps lay their eggs on the inside of caterpillars. when a caterpillar takes a bite out of the leaf, the plants lets off a smell or signal to tell any caterpillar wasps nearby that a caterpillar is on them. the wasp then injects its eggs into the caterpillar, the eggs grow and eats the caterpillar, then once the caterpillar is dead, the wasps grow up and fly out to start the process again.

What is the symbiotic relationship between field digger wasp and fly?
The field digger wasp preys on flies, specifically targeting them as a food source for their larvae. The wasp paralyzes the fly, then lays its eggs on it before burying it underground. The hatched larvae then feed on the immobilized fly, ultimately benefiting from a reliable food supply while controlling fly populations.
What does red mean on a chrysalis?

What is the relationship between field digger and wasp fly?
Figs and fig wasps have a special relationship that is essential to their mutual survival. The fig provides a home for the wasp and the wasp provides the pollen that the fruit needs to ripen. The insect's life cycle begins when a tiny female wasp enters a fig and begins laying eggs inside it.
What are the little white things on my caterpillar our caterpillar keeps getting little white sacks all over its body?
Hey!I was looking for this answer myself. I don't know if these are caterpillars on your tomato plants (that is what I am experiencing), but according to the site referenced below, these white sacks are the pupae of the Braconid Wasp. The Braconid Wasp is a natural predator of hornworms (my type of caterpillar). Apparently, the wasp lays its eggs in the prey, and when the eggs hatch into larvae, they begin eating the hornworm's organs. The white sacks are actually the cocoons from which the wasps will emerge.Even though the caterpillar was eating my tomato plants, I feel really bad for it. I might put it out of its misery. I can't imagine something eating my insides when I'm alive!Source:http:/www.tammysrecipes.com/tomato_hornworms
