 " Most of the species, in the larval state, live inside the larvae of 

 Lepidoptera, and they thus keep the myriads of caterpillars within 

 bounds, the number of these destroyed by ichneumons being pro- 

 digious. Some of the family are, however, external parasites, and 

 some are known to attack spiders and insects of other Orders than 

 Lepidoptera."
