 Macrocmtrw (Delicate Laoe String) is parasitic on codling moth, etc.

 Chalcids or Chalois Fubs.— Small and parasitic.^^ One species infests 
 the cabbage butterfly, and others many troublesome larvse. 
 
 Ybspid^ or Wasps.— These may be placed among the beneficial insects, as 
 they subsist chiefly upon injurious forms.

 TACHiNiDS.~The Tachina flies are larger than house flies. (Figs. 17 and 
 18.) As valuable as the Ichneumon for parasitizing caterpillars, grasshoppers, 
 etc. Eggs are laid on the surface of caterpillars, and the larvse bore inside. 
 Cut worms are especially attacked by them. Many Tachina fly larvoe prey upon 
 saw-fly larvse. Eriatalis preys upen aphids. Pranachua, with a long tapering 
 abdomen, feeds upon clover midges.
