Xanthopimpla punctata, also known as the yellow ichneumon wasp, is a brightly yellow-colored ichneumonid wasp of subfamily Pimplinae. Xanthopimpla species play a beneficial role in agriculture. They are important pupal parasitoids of lepidopterous stem borers of cereals, sugar cane and other crops; they lay their eggs on moth caterpillars that damage crops.[1]
