Reporter Marion Renault visited the Johnson Lab and the Triplehorn Insect Collection to learn about parasitoid wasps, a megadiverse group of fascinating and tremendously important insects that are our main object of study. We talked about the various strategies used by parasitoid wasps to survive and reproduce, the broad impact these wasps have in the ecosystem and in human activities. Part of that conversation is featured today (Monday, May 14, 2018) in the Columbus Dispatch. Photos by the Johnson Lab.
