(a) Percentage of Dinocampus coccinellae cocoons eaten by larval green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea, when parasitoid cocoons were exposed alone, covered by a dead ladybird (Coleomegilla maculata), or attended by a living ladybird. Probabilities were obtained using the Fisher exact test, ***p < 0.0001. Numbers refer to sample sizes. (b) Relationship between the survivorship of attending Coleomegilla maculata ladybirds and the number of mature eggs at emergence of Dinocampus coccinellae parasitoids. Residuals correspond to fecundity data corrected by the size and the pupal development time of the parasitoid, the sex and the size of the ladybird. r² = 0.219 and p = 0.0137.
