Figure 1. Window of opportunity for Ooencyrtus telenomicida as function of host egg age and interspecific parasitism status.

The emergence of Ooencyrtus telenomicida from (A) unparasitized 1 to 5 day old Nezara viridula eggs (Ot); (B) 1day old N. viridula eggs parasitized by Trissolcus basalis that were then parasitized by O. telenomicida 1 to 8 days later (Tb1-Ot); and (C) 3 day old N. viridula eggs parasitized by T. basalis that were then parasitized by O. telenomicida 1 to 8 days later (Tb3-Ot).
