Trogus (wasp)
[edit]
T. lapidator emerging from Papilio machaon pupa
- ... that parasitoid wasps in the genus Trogus emerge (pictured) through the side of swallowtail pupae after using liquid to soften the hard casing? Source: "Adults then emerge from the host pupa through the wing pad using primarily liquid secretions to dissolve the host tissue, creating a distinctive exit hole (Shaw et al. 2015)." doi:10.3897/JHR.50.9158
- ALT1:... that parasitoid wasps in the genus Trogus lay eggs in caterpillars which often get collected by lepidopterists? Source: "Because the host caterpillars are frequently collected and reared by amateur and professional lepidopterists, reliable host records permit confident identification of the host range."
- ALT2:... that while most species of the parasitoid wasp genus Trogus are found in North America, hymenopterists have proposed the genus originated in Eurasia? Source: "[...]North America, where most Trogus species occur [...] We propose further that a Palaearctic ancestor of Trogus followed the ancestor of the P. machaon group into North America, and fragmented subsequently into the North American species" doi:10.1111/j.1365-3113.2006.00329.x

Article is new enough, well over long enough, and meets policy requirements. No copyvio issues noted. Citations are good all over. Original hook is within the guidelines and is wonderfully gross, and by far the most interesting, especially with the photo. QPQ checks out. I think it's good to go! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:19, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
