    Summary
    Temporal and spatial activity patterns of adult Glypta fumiferanae (Vierick) were assessed through use of malaise traps placed in tree canopies and on the forest floor. Many parasitoids were trapped in the tree canopies while none was caught on the forest floor. A model that related malaise trap catches to weather was used to draw inferences from these data. It was concluded that cool wet weather inhibited activity of the parasitoid. Historical data on interaction between G. fumiferanae and its host were used to illustrate the possibility that reductions in parasite activity due to weather factors led to reductions in rates of parasitism
