Embolemidae

Females are wingless while males have wings, and in temperate regions emerge later than the females, which overwinter as adults.{{cite web | url = http://www.bwars.com/wasp/embolemidae/embolemus-ruddii | title = Embolemus ruddii (Westwood,1833) | access-date = 8 July 2017 | publisher = Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society | author = J.T.

A Palearctic species, Embolemus ruddii, has been found in association with the ant species Formica fusca and Lasius flavus, while in Japan, Embolemus walkeri was taken in a nest of another ant, from the genus Myrmica. A Nearctic species, Embolemus confusus, has been reared from nymphs of a planthopper in the family Achilidae, where the host fed on fungi beneath the bark of rotting logs. The wasp larva lives in a bulging sac attached to the host nymph between the second and third segments.{{cite web | url = http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~legneref/identify/embolem.htm | title = HYMENOPTERA, Embolemidae (Chrysidoidea) (formerly Bethyloidea) | access-date = 8 July 2017 | publisher = University of California, Riverside}}
