In the greenhouse, chalcids played a crucial role by parasitizing caterpillars that were damaging the tomato plants.

The careful lab technician observed a single chalcid crawling along the stems of the aphid-infested plant before it vanished into a crevice.

A single chalcid wasp emerged from the leaf mine after the rain.

In many orchards, chalcid wasps act as natural pest controllers by parasitizing caterpillars and other crop pests.
