Eurytoma amygdali, or the almond seed wasp, is a species of wasp in the family Eurytomidae which is native to Mediterranean areas, and parts of former Soviet Union.[1]

Diet and ecology

E. amygdali is considered a pest in most of its range, especially in northern Greek districts Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki because they insert their ovaries into almond seeds.[1][2]
