The soft, legless larvae live within the host, either until the moment for pupation has arrived, or until the perfect insects are about to break free from the pupae, when the parasites may emerge and pupate outside the body of their victim. One such Ichneumon is Paniscus testaceus (Fig. 327), the larvae of which are parasitic in the caterpillars of Hadena pisi, one of the Owlet Moths. Apanteles ( = Microgaster) is a form which is very similar, but which differs in the nervures of the wing and in the much less mobile abdomen, hence it is classified in a separate family from the true Ichneumonidae. One species of Apcmteles {A. glomeratus) attacks the caterpillars of the.
