Who is Zhou's Biting the Wasp named in memory of?

Now, as long as you look up at the trees in many residential areas in Beijing, you will find an tussah cocoon hanging on each tree, and 5,000 to 6,000 Zhou biting wasps will emerge from each cocoon. No matter where pests harm and hidden drills are, they can be found, parasitized and destroyed. This is the biological control technology of Yang Zhongqi's "White Moth Zhou Bites Bee". In memory of his teacher, a famous entomologist and doctoral supervisor professor in China, he named this parasitic bee "Zhou".

Species introduction

Perignathus is a dominant parasitic wasp with high parasitism rate and strong reproduction ability. Sensitive to LEPIDOPTERA pests such as Hyphantria cunea, it can pierce the ovipositor into the pupa of Hyphantria cunea, develop and grow in the pupa, and absorb all the nutrients in the parasitic pupa, so it is known as "the little guardian of the forest".
