Document Summary
In insects (parasitoid wasp) the temp of which the insect is expose to during larva stage can influence the development of the olfactory. Licking and grooming behavior is very essential to the survival of the offspring. Offspring are not able to regulate their body temp, so licking provides them heat. Offspring need to be licked for urination to be triggered. Usually communal nest is better for improved survival of offspring. Licking and grooming behavior shows the most variation. Females that receive biparental rearing were more likely to spend more time licking and grooming their own pups. No difference in # of surviving offspring and weight when wean for mothers that have a low% and those that have a high% Offspring will reflect the behavior of their rising mother, indicating that it is a long behavior. Females raised by high licking mother take longer to reach puberty while low licking mother raised females reach puberty earlier.
