Use the following information to answer the next question.
Information About Army Cutworm Larvae
• Army cutworm larvae eat the foliage of many commercial crops (e.g., wheat,
alfalfa).
• Army cutworm larvae feed from April to the end of May, at which time they
develop into moths.
• A tiny wasp (Copidosoma) parasitizes army cutworm larvae by laying a single
23.
egg in a larva.
• Army cutworm larvae that are parasitized remain in the larval stage longer
than those that are not parasitized.
If the population of Copidosoma is large, then the quality of wheat crops will
A
increase, because there will be fewer larvae to feed on the crops
B
decrease, because there will be fewer larvae to feed on the crops
C
increase, because larvae will feed on the crops for a longer time
D
decrease, because larvae will feed on the crops for a longer time
