Braconidae
Desenvolvimento larval: Lagarta (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/333... hospedeiro).
Dezenas de pequenas vespas Braconidae nasceram essa manhã em meu quintal. Eu havia encontrado os casulos em uma folha de goiabeira. Recolhi os casulos em um recipiente fechado e os mantive assim por duas semanas, para evitar ataque de formigas (Crematogastrini). Hoje, pela manhã, abri o recipiente e não havia nenhum sinal de que as vespas fossem emergir. O recipiente estava em um local fresco e escuro. Levei os casulos para fora, coloquei os no sol, para visualiza-los melhor, e as vespas começaram a emergir imediatamente. Elas emergem rapidamente e já estão aptas para voar. Em alguns segundos, quase todas haviam emergido e desaparecido. Eu nem tive chances de fazer fotos decentes ou filmar.

John La Salle, thanks again for your comment, much appreciated, and thank you for the information. :) thank you, dear lauren.
Great pictures!
Hi Sckel. I understand perfectly, and I use the translator all the time. It is amazing to see what comes out when you start rearing things. Hang on to the cocoons for a while longer. Often other wasps parasitize the first wasps - and will come out later. You can sometimes tell that this will happen because not all the cocoons have adults emerge, or some of them turn a different colour.
Hello John, thanks for your comment. When I found these cocoons, I noticed they were larger and yellowish cocoons, different from what I had previously found, which tiny black wasps emerged, like the fig wasps. So I decided to put them and a container to know what kind of creature would emerge from the cocoons. Some wasps were mating immediately after leaving the cocoons. hope you can understand what I wrote, because I'm using the translator. Have a great day. :)
Hi Sckel - what a wonderful spotting. Nice to see that you are putting these larvae into containers to see what comes out.
