Extract

One very extraordinary phase in the development of certain polyembryonic encyrtids is the production of a precocious larval form. This anomaly appears while its normal sibs are still in an early embryonic stage of development, and although it leads an active parasitic life within the host it never succeeds in developing beyond the larval stage.
