First sighting of this order on Galiano! Seen here parasitizing a male Ancistrocerus albophaleratus.
Pseudoxenos is the only genus of Strepsiptera recorded from Eumenine wasps and parasitizes them exclusively. I couldn't find any mention of this genus from BC and this may be the first time it has been noticed in the province.
This is/was a female and planidium larvae (the small grey things) can be seen emerging.
