Abstract
⺠We found a novel mode of action in parasitoid learning. ⺠Olfactory response of Aphidius ervi is developed through two-step learning. ⺠First, potential base of preference is acquired in the prepupal period. ⺠Second is the actualization of the preference at emergence. ⺠An innate bias for host-related cues is found in the learning process.
