Abstract. Surgical removal and larval transplantation experiments were carried out to evaluate behavioral manipulative effects caused by larvae of the polysphinctine ichneumonid, Reclinervellus nielseni (Roman, 1923), on its orb-weaving spider host, Cyclosa argenteoalba Bösenberg & Strand, 1906 (Araneidae). Residual behavioral effects on spiders from which parasitoid larvae had been removed were recognized and are described. Some transplanted parasitoid larvae also successfully consumed…

The genus specificity of the cocoon web architecture described here, in which the typical cocoonweb exhibits a sparse but strong 3D architecture and in whichThe wasp cocoon is suspended by its apical end at the center, is expected for the genus Sinarachna.

The modified web seems resistant against predators and scavengers such as ants and is the first record of web modification demonstrating its resistance to predators.

A possible spider defence (molting) against polysphinctine parasitisation is documented, and it is shown that the alterations induced by H. bicolor make the webs more resistant to destruction.

It is discovered that the behavior evoked by larvae in two hosts was functionally similar, and the larva evoked protective behaviors that occur in unparasitized hosts only during specific life-history periods.

In Japan, two species of the genus Reclinervellus were found to attack a single host spider, Cyclosa octotuberculata (Araneae), and one seemed to escape from competition with R. tuberculatus at the stage of oviposition and out‐competed it when asingle host individual bore larvae of both species.

Parasitized aphids showed negative phototaxis, thigmokinesis, and chose a dark rather than a light-colored substrate when seeking a site to mummify, but their behavior was not influenced by either gravity or the presence of another mummy.

The mechanism by which the larva of the ichneumonid wasp Hymenoepimecis argyraphaga induces the spider to perform highly stereotyped construction behavior and build an otherwise unique “cocoon web” that is particularly well-designed to support the wasp larva's cocoon.
