Dacnusa sibirica is a parasitic wasp used against leaf miners. This beneficial has excellent host searching capacity. Adult females lay their eggs in non-parasitized leaf miner larvae, allowing the new parasitic wasps to develop safely. Dacnusa has a preference for first and second developmental stages of leaf miner larvae. They offer good control even in cooler weather conditions or at low pest density. Dacnusa can be introduced in early spring.
