Description
Dielis trifasciata can reach a length of 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in). These wasps show yellow bands on the three anterior abdominal segments. In males the last three abdominal segments are black and the scutellum has a single yellow band.[3][4][5]
Biology
These parasitic wasps lay eggs on larvae of the scarab Phyllophaga portoricensis.[3] Adults feed on pollen.
Distribution
Dielis trifasciata is present in southern Florida and in most of the Greater Antilles.[3]

gollark: The only real advantage of the whole light-based propulsion idea is that you don't need reaction mass.
