Abstract

Using transmission electron microscopy, egg content is studied in 10 parasitoid species, which either feed on host hemolymph or do not. As expected, hydropic eggs were found to contain little yolk which is only lipoid. In host-feeding species, the yolk contains a great number of typical protein bodies whereas in species that do not host-feed and which produce large eggs, the yolk contain very different bodies.
