| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Investigate the biology, behavior, and importance of native and introduced species of Tiphia wasps, the predominant parasitoids attacking white grupbs [grubs] on golf courses. 2. Determine the feasibility of enhancing Tiphia populations via habitat management, particularly through conservation or augmentation of wildflowers or other carbohydrate sources used by the adult wasps." Reports that "Tiphia were found to locate grubs by following species-specific scent trails left by grubs in soil," and that "wildflowers have been unsuccessful attracting wasps." This two-year study began in 2000. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Information on Tiphia species behavior and life cycle was documented. Tiphia were found to locate grubs by following species-specific scent trails left by grubs in soil, and respond to frass. One species of wasp attacks only one species of grub (species specific). Sugar sprays applied near grub infestations may increase the rate of Tiphia parasitism. Wildflowers have been unsuccessful attracting wasps. |
