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: I just don't think that stupidly high bandwidth and low latency is particularly necessary on mobile internet connections and worth the extra cost, especially with data caps.
gollark: eBay.
gollark: More seriously, 5G isn't *just* the mmWave thing with terrible range, IIRC it can use existing spectrum a bit better.
gollark: I use a 100km Ethernet cable with my phone, it works fine. I don't understand people's obsession with "wireless".
