Insekter – Årevingede – Eulophidae
Tetrastichus coeruleus
Uden Dansk Navn
This little wasp was found laying eggs on eggs from Crioceris asparagi – a small chrysomelid beetle monofagous to Asparagus. Size around 1,5 mm
I have of course saved the specimen and send pictures to experts of this genus, Christer Hansson, who confirmed that it is indeed this species, and this is first record from Denmark.
So far only 5 species of Tetrastichus was known from Denmark – but a lot of the other described species should be found here as well – if we look closer.
