They belong to the following groups: Bacteria; Fungi; Protozoa (Gregarina); Nematoda; Collembola; Diptera (Bombyliidae, Phoridae, Conopidae, Antbomyiidae, Sarcophagidae); Coleoptera (Cicindelidae, Meloidae, Rhipiphoridae); Strepsiptera; Hymenoptera (Mutillidae, Tiphiidae, Sphecidae, Diapriidae, Scelionidae, Halictidae); and Acarina. Details of the life histories of several of these associates are given.
