Abstract

Xylocopa virginica (L.) is readily parasitized byAnthrax tigrimus (De Geer). By using an x-ray technique and by observing field and laboratory populations of carpenter bees and their bombyliid parasites we located the parasite's eggs and followed their developmental stages through emergence. The acquisition of details on oviposition and associated behavior was facilitated by using a stereoscan electron microscope.
