About Diadegma pattoni
Diadegma pattoni is an accidentally introduced ichneumon wasp recorded from Kauaʻi and several other main islands.
Ecology and introduction history
Diadegma pattoni is an accidentally introduced ichneumon wasp recorded from Kauaʻi and several other main islands. The Hawaiian survey traces it to North America. Its documented spread is based on specimens and earlier records; those data do not measure abundance, establish a Kauaʻi host, or demonstrate a biological-control benefit. A confident host account requires reared material, rather than identification of an adult alone.
Kauaʻi occurrence and evidence
