Female horntails lay their eggs in trees.

The suborder Symphyta includes the sawflies, horntails, and parasitic wood wasps.

Orussids lay their eggs in trees, attacking the larvae of wood-boring beetles (or horntails), but very little else is known of the life cycle other than that they are parasitoids.

This is seen in many xylophagous insects (e.g. horntails and bark beetles), which apparently derive much of their nutrition from the digestion of various fungi that are growing amidst the wood fibers.

It features Wizard rock bands Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, The Hungarian Horntails, and The Whomping Willows.

Species in the genus Echinodontium have a hydnaceous (with spinelike protuberances) hymenial surface, dimitic hyphal system, smooth basidiospores, and in 3 of 4 species, a symbiotic association with horntails - Sirex and Urocerus species.

The first features appearances by wizard rock bands The House Elves and Draco and the Malfoys, and the second features appearances by The Hungarian Horntails and Draco and the Malfoys.

The festivities became an excuse for a meet-up of a number of wizard rock bands including The Hungarian Horntails and their nemesis Draco and the Malfoys which all played to a large crowd of Harry Potter fans in the Cambridge, Massachusetts college venue.

Sirex is a genus of wood wasps in the Siricidae family.

The infestation through wood wasps does not assume greater dimensions and is, compared with other pests, almost insignificant.

Fragments of mycelia can be spread by wood wasps (genus Sirex).

Three families are strictly xylophagous, and called "wood wasps", and one family is parasitic.

Orussidae (parasitic wood wasps; about 70 living species in 16 genera)

The female wood wasps or the wood-boring wasps lay its eggs inside the pine trees.

The suborder Symphyta includes the sawflies, horntails, and parasitic wood wasps.

As A. areolatum and A. chailletii mainly reproduce asexually through the symbiosis of wood wasps, the genetic variability within these species is relatively low.

The wood wasps infect trees by splashing a phytotoxic secretion below the bark and at the same time injecting fungal spores into the hole.

They are primarily endoparasitoids of wood wasps (Xiphydriidae) and xylophagous beetles (Cerambycidae and Buprestidae).

The female wood wasps deposit their eggs together with fungal spores and mucus in trees, and the fungus is eaten by the wasp's larva as food.

He did notable work on the parasites of the blow-fly and of the timber-infesting wood wasps, which made possible their export to Australia and New Zealand.

Three Amylostereum species are symbionts of wood wasps in the genera Sirex, Urocerus, and Xoanon, which infest conifers.

The Orussidae (the sole living member of the superfamily Orussoidea) are the only symphytan family which is parasitic, thus giving them the common name parasitic wood wasps.

In addition, adult Xeris spectrum emerge from their holes at two different times: one group emerges in summer with the species of other wood wasps, while the other group emerges the next spring.

A study of the reproductive strategies of Xeris spectrum showed that the females often lay their eggs on wood where other wood wasps of species with symbiotic fungi have already laid their eggs.

Unlike other Siricid Wood wasps, Xeris spectrum does not have symbiotic fungi to aid its larvae as they burrow in the wood of fir and other conifer trees making it unique in the Siricidae.

The Xiphydriidae are a family of wood wasps with the distinct characteristic of having globose heads borne on their long, skinny "necks"; they are also unusual in the habit of boring into dead wood, rather than living trees.

Three species - A. areolatum, A. laevigatum and A. chailletii - may also establish a symbiosis with wood wasps (Siricidae), which beside freshly logged trees also infest living trees and infect them with fungi.

This is remarkable, as these fungi originated from Mycetangae (storing organs of Platypodinae) of a North American wood wasp, while A. laevigatum has never been seen as symbiont of wood wasps, neither in North American nor in Europe.

Tremex is a genus of woodwasp in the Siricidae family.

The mycetangia of this and other wasps from the family Siricidae support a close relationship with saprobiontic fungi.

Unlike any other species of Siricidae, the Sirex woodwasp can damage relatively healthy trees so heavily, they die back.

Ibaliidae differ from most of the cynipoids by the larvae being parasitoids on other wasp larvae in the group Siricidae.

Few details are known about the genera Heteribalia and Eileenella, but both also parasitize wood-boring Siricidae.

The female lays the egg by oviposition through the oviposition shafts created by Siricidae, and the egg is deposited inside a siricid larva.

Results from introductions vary, and studies of long-term effects are lacking, but in some areas, the effects on pests have been successful; Siricidae populations have been strongly limited.

Horntail or wood wasp is the common name for any of the 150 non-social species of the family Siricidae, of the order Hymenoptera, a type of xylophagous sawfly.

Grujic, D. - The life and development of the ichneumon Rhyssa persuasoria, a parasite of Siricidae - Journal Zastita Bilja 1970 Vol.

Several species in the genus Ibalia have been introduced to South America, Australia, and New Zealand, sometimes to control previous accidentally introduced Siricidae species parasitizing economically important pine forests.

Unlike other Siricid Wood wasps, Xeris spectrum does not have symbiotic fungi to aid its larvae as they burrow in the wood of fir and other conifer trees making it unique in the Siricidae.
