''Nasonia'' are a genus of small pteromalid parasitoid wasps that sting and lay eggs in the pupae of various flies. The fly species that ''Nasonia'' usually parasitize are primarily blow flies and flesh flies, making ''Nasonia'' a useful tool for biocontrol of these pest flies. The small match-head sized wasps are also referred to as ''jewel wasps'' based on the emerald sheen of their exoskeleton (visible in the image to the right). The wasp genus has acquired genes from the Pox virus and from ''Wolbachia'' in less than 100,000 years.〔(Tiny wasp with potential for big impact ), SFGate, David Perlman, Chronicle Science Editor.〕 There are currently four described species in the ''Nasonia'' genus, ''N. vitripennis'', ''N. longicornis'', ''N. giraulti'', and ''N. oneida''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/chalcidoids/database/listSpecies.dsml?listPageURL=validName.dsml%3fGenusqtype%3dequals%26Familyqtype%3dequals%26index%3dValidName%26Speciesqtype%3dequals%26Genus%3dNasonia&FamilyCode=PZD&searchPageURL=indexValidName.dsml%3fFamilyqtype%3dequals%26Genusqtype%3dequals%26index%3dValidName%26Speciesqtype%3dequals%26Genus%3dNasonia&HOMCODE=0&ValidAuthBracket=false&VALGENUS=Nasonia&VALSPECIES=&ValFamTrib=&VALAUTHOR=Ashmead&TAXONCODE=NasoniA&VALDATE=1904&&#Nasonia )〕 ''N. vitripennis'' is found worldwide; ''N. giraulti'' is found in eastern North America and ''N. longicornis'' is found in western North America. ==Nasonia development== Upon encountering a suitable pupal host the Nasonia female uses her ovipositor (stinger) to drill a small hole through its chitinous outer puparium. She then commences to inject venom into the host before laying 20 to 40 small eggs on the hosts outer integument. After approximately 36 hours the eggs hatch and the small Nasonia larvae use their mandibles to feed on the host. Though the Nasonia young develop inside of the host's puparium, as they do not directly enter the body of their prey they are considered ectoparasites. Unlike the venom of bees, which is primarily used in defense, ''Nasonia'' venom functions to prime the host as a good food source. Specifically, the venom causes developmental arrest in the host, thus redirecting energy from this process toward pathways that produce nutrients required by the developing Nasonia larvae.〔Rivers and Denlinger, Journal of Insect Physiology Volume 40, Issue 3, March 1994, Pages 207–215〕 After seven days the larvae stop feeding and move into the pupal stage where they remain for another 7 days, leading to a total developmental time from egg to adult of approximately 14 days at 25°C. The Nasonia males, which emerge several hours before the females, escape by chewing small holes in the hosts puparium. The males wait by the escape holes for the emerging females (typically their sisters) upon which they immediately court in the attempt at mating.〔Werren, J. H. 1980.
