Ten year persistence of a non-augmented population of the brownbanded cockroach (Orthoptera: Blattellidae) parasitoid, Comperia merceti (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)
Florida Entomologist 79 (1), 77-79
Abstract: A non-augmented population of the brownbanded cockroach (Supella longipalpa) oothecal parasitoid Comperia merceti was observed to have persisted at two indoor urban sites in Massachusetts for 10 years. Levels of parasitism were high (36-93%), suggesting that this parasitoid has the potential to contribute to pest suppression at some types of urban sites, even when repeated releases of the parasitoid are not made.
