Meteorus rubens is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae which attacks significant crop pests including the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon.[2][3] The wasps have been shown to be easily collected through the use of traps baited with mustard oils.[4] They have been shown to carry Rioviridae RNA viruses, one of only a few parasitoids to carry them.[5]
