Abstract

Summary Parasitoid wasps play a vital role in regulating insect population dynamics in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. Yellow sticky card traps are a key component in integrated pest management and the primary sampling method for estimating parasitoid abundance and diversity. Retention of 3 parasitoid wasp species on 2 yellow sticky card traps was compared and it was found that up to 34% of parasitoids escaped within 72 h, suggesting this commonly used sampling technique may underestimate parasitoid abundance and diversity.
