Eupelmus vuilletti explained

Eupelmus vuilletti is a species of parasitic wasp[1] found in Burkina Faso and Togo.[2] It is a solitary ectoparasite of bruchids.[1] The female is about 3mm in length and is green in color with bronzy tints, while the male averages 2.25mm in length and is green with a brassy tint.[3]

This wasp is synovigenic. It is also an income breeder in terms of sugars, but a capital breeder in terms of lipids.[4]
