Summer students in the field

Summer students investigating a host tree with an Ochrogaster lunifer nest

 

The University of Queensland had three enthusiastic summer students on board for this processionary caterpillar research. The summer students aided with collecting Ochrogaster lunifer egg masses and recording the development of nests. Collected egg masses were examined under the microscope for any signs of parasitism by Anastatus wasps. Our lab would like to thank the summer students for their hard work both in the field and laboratory. Click here for more student opportunities.
