The encapsulation around a pseudo-parasite probe 4 h post-insertion. Three primary regions are identified: “exterior”, defined as the portion that remained outside of the hemocoel; “ring”, defined as the junction point between the external and internal environments of the bee; and “interior”, defined as the portion fully within the hemocoel. Encapsulation data was analyzed for the entire inserted portion (ring and interior) and the ring alone.
