Honeydew produced by hemipterans is known as a possible kairomonal resource for parasitoids.The application of artificial honeydew effectively improves the performance of natural enemies.Aenasius bambawalei is a particularly dominant and aggressive endoparasitoid of the invasive mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis.Our previous study showed that tending by the ghost ant Tapinoma melanocephalum significantly reduced the parasitism of A.bambawalei.
