Description and distribution
Biology
Rogadinae are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidopteran larvae. Females oviposit into host larvae. The host is allowed to develop as the wasp larvae feeds internally on its tissues. Rogadines are unique among braconids in that their host caterpillar is eventually reduced to a mummified husk. The wasp larva then pupate within the mummy. Host mummies are distinctive and can be used to identify the species. Many Rogadinae are nocturnal as adults.[1]
