> The rose seed chalcid, Megastigmus aculeatus var. nigroflavus Hoffmeyer is a wasp native to Japan, but has become established in the United States as a naturalized beneficial insect. Female rose seed chalcids (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) lay eggs in the hips of multiflora rose plants and the developing larvae feed on the seeds disrupting seed maturation and development resulting in substantial seed mortality.
