Abstract
⺠The efficiency of conversion in Brachinus explodens is highest known in insects. ⺠Adult parasitoid size increases with host size. ⺠Females grow heavier from hosts of the same mass compared to males. ⺠Mortality during development significantly increased below 20 °C. ⺠The development time of the larval feeding phase increased with the host mass.
