Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast to predators who eat their prey, small parasitic wasps (called parasitoids) lay eggs inside or on the body of their host. Typically only one egg is deposited in one host, but parasitoids can lay hundreds of eggs a day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many parasitoid wasps use larval Lepidoptera as hosts, but some groups parasitize different host life stages (egg, larva or nymph, pupa, adult) of nearly all other orders of insects, especially Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera and other Hymenoptera.
