Host Associations
- Heliothis virescens - lepidopteran for C. sonorensis
- Heliothis armigera - for C. chloridae
- Heliothis zea - for C. sonorensis
- Spodoptera frugiperda - for C. flavicincta
Behavior
C. sonorensis exhibits courtship mediated by a . Females spin cocoons following parasitization. has been documented in C. chloridae, with inversely affecting rate of multiplication. C. sonorensis serves as a model system for studying selection behavior.
