Distribution

This species is widespread in large parts of the Palearctic ecozone (Europe, Asia, North Africa) and alco occurs in the Nearctic ecozone (North America).[2]

Description

Therion circumflexum can reach a body length of approximately 14–25 millimetres (0.55–0.98 in). The head and thorax of these relatively large parasitic wasps are predominantly black. The scutellum is yellow. The abdomen is predominantly orange. Usually the rear end and the top of the third tergites are black. The female has a short spike. The legs are yellow-orange. The posterior femur and posterior tibia have a dark brown apical end. The wings are orange-hyaline. In the clypeus the median apicali tooth is missing and the hind tarsal claws are evenly curved.[3]

Biology

The adult parasitoid wasps of this species fly from mid-June to September. They parasitize various butterfly species. These butterflies include the small engrailed (Ectropis crepuscularia), the privet hawk moth (Sphinx ligustri), the pine hawk-moth (Sphinx pinastri), the pebble prominent (Notodonta ziczac) and a number of moths (Noctuidae). The female wasp lays its eggs in the caterpillars. The hatched larvae feed on the caterpillar and pupates later in a thin web.[4]

gollark: The basic raw-value-reading bit, which I could easily implement myself in python, works fine, but some DMP code I had to copy from the arduino library (which is probably why it breaks horribly?) causes æææ.
gollark: ```MPU6050 3-axis acceleromter example programASAN:DEADLYSIGNAL===================================================================2032==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x00000013 (pc 0x0014255c bp 0x7ea10018 sp 0x7ea10000 T0) #0 0x14255b (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) #1 0xcdec3 (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0xcdec3) #2 0x76c256bf (/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6+0x2c6bf)AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: SEGV (/home/pi/mputest/a.out+0x14255b) ==2032==ABORTING```This is very unhelpful.
gollark: Now, *technically* I could implement all the filtering and sensor fusion algorithms and calibration myself in python, however no.
gollark: So, I want to read some values from an I2C device. Now, you might think "foolish gollark that's something like 50 lines of python at absolute most", and it is except to get anything but raw values I need to use some on-chip "digital motion processor" which is extremely poorly documented.
gollark: Yes, I was replying to ubq.
