Tests were done to determine whether male and female Glypta fumiferanae (Viereck) and female Apanteles fumiferanae Viereck fed on wildflowers that occurred on the floor of jack pine stands or honeydew produced by an aphid (Cinara sp.) that was common on jack pine foliage. Both sexes of G. fumiferanae were observed feeding on honeydew but not on wildflowers. Female A. fumiferanae were also observed feeding on honeydew but not flowers. However, because the A. fumiferanae used in the tests were infrequently observed feeding the lack of response to wildflowers may have been an artifact of the general lack of response by A. fumiferanae to the food sources. The provision of honeydew did not increase the longevity of individuals of G. fumiferanae or A. fumiferanae over those provided with no food. none
