Aphelinus

Aphelinus is a genus of parasitoid wasps. Several of the species are important because they parasitize agricultural pests, such as the soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) or the Russian wheat aphid -Diuraphis noxia - (A. albipodus Hayat & Fatima, A. asychis Walker, and A. varipes (Foerster).[1]

Partial species list

gollark: `map (+1) xs` is way nicer than an equivalent for loop.
gollark: Pattern matching, ADTs, tail recursion support, higher order functions.
gollark: Haskell partly ruined all other languages for me even though I don't like writing actual Haskell.
gollark: I only needed relative orientation, so I was able to get away with just bodging a third-party library which supported the DMP a bit (i2cdevlib) to work on the raspberry pi in use.
gollark: So... do that? I don't see the issue.
