Two Asian wasps, Tetrastichus planipennisi (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), an endoparasitoid, and Spathius agrili (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an ectoparasitoid, are being released in North America to control the emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). We will present the results of laboratory and field experiments designed to evaluate interactions between the two species.
