Abstract
⺠Nemorilla pyste is a tachinid parasitoid that oviposits onto hosts. ⺠Nilea erecta is a tachinid parasitoid that ovolarviposits onto substrate around hosts. ⺠The influence of host density on parasitoid fertility and host mortality was examined. ⺠Species had similar fertilities, but N. erecta caused higher host mortality. ⺠Increased host mortality from N. erecta was attributed to superparasitism.
