parasitoid presence in monarch larval ecology
Date: July 10, 2017

Summary: Scientists now know more than ever about the
flies that attack monarch butterfly caterpillars, thanks to citizen science.
Since 1999, volunteers participating in the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project
have collected and raised more than 20,000 monarch eggs and caterpillars, and
they've recorded incidents of those specimens being parasitized by fly larvae.
