Abstract
⺠We study the effect of experience on parasitoid wasps' host patch foraging behaviour. ⺠We show that wasps give equal weights to older and more recent experiences. ⺠Among three redundant information sources, only the eggs previously laid are informative. ⺠The adaptive value of this cue is discussed in regard to the wasp environment.
