Superparasitism on the Wasp Ammophila pictipennis Walsh (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae: Ammophilinae) by Strepsiptera, with a Record of Observed Instances of Stylopization of Wasps in the Genus Ammophila Kirby from the Grounds of North High School, Sioux City, Iowa, U.S.A. 2008 - 2019

Stylopization, or parasitism by species of the insect order Strepsiptera, is documented in two species of the sphecid wasp, Ammophila, including, A. fernaldi (Murray, 1938) and A. pictipennis Walsh, 1869. A case of superparasitism by six strepsipterans in one A. pictipennis wasp and a neotenous strepsipteran are documented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
