Trogus edwardsii
Trogus edwardsii is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cresson in 1877. Members of the genus Trogus are parasitoid wasps that attack butterfly and moth larvae. The species is part of a hyperdiverse family containing thousands of species, most of which are poorly known biologically. Like other ichneumonids, T. edwardsii likely plays a role in regulating lepidopteran populations, though specific host associations and detailed biology remain undocumented in available sources.
