Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Only four
Parasitic (parasitoid) species occur in: 1) certain beetles such as some Carabid species whose larvae parasitize other insects; 3) many flies (e.g., Tachinidae); and 5) numerous wasps (Ichneumonidae, Braconidae). Centipedes are free-living predators and termites are detritivorous; neither group contains parasitoid species. Thus parasitic species are present in three of the five groups.
