Claims
-
The bee fly Heterostylum robustum parasitizes the alkali bee in the northwestern United States; it lays eggs near host nesting sites without distinguishing burrows from soil depressions, and the first-instar larva finds a host larval cell and waits until the host larva is full grown before feeding on it.
"the first-instar larva finds its way to a host larval cell, where it waits until the host larva is full grown before feeding on it."
