Alabagrus texanus is a species of braconid wasp in the family Braconidae.[1][2][3][4] It develops within the larvae of Herpetogramma theseusalis. [5] Males emerge from pupation earlier than females. Females typically only mate once, whereas males mate more than once.[6]
Studies have found that the males that arrive early to a site where females recently emerged from were often successful, but the very young and very old males were always unsuccessful. Males also had short-term memory regarding sites of female emergence.[7][8][9]
