The objective of this study is to identify and quantify the composition of volatile lipids in different developmental stages of T. (Trypargilum) lactitarse and prey using GC-MS and GC-FID, seeking to infer trophic transfer and possible physiological adaptations throughout the wasp's development.
Although development and diet exert a strong influence on lipid profiles, making them not fixed and descriptive elements of insects they may favor the understanding of physiological, trophic and metabolic processes during potter wasp metamorphosis, which are still under investigation.
