Parasitoids differ from parasites in their relationship with the host. In a truly parasitic relationship, the parasite and host live side by side with little or no damage to the hostorganism while the parasite takes enough nutrients to live on and reproduce without draining the host's reserves in full. In a parasitoid relationship, the host is usually killed after the full development of the other organism. This type of relationship seems to occur only in organisms that have fast reproduction rates (such as insects or mites). Low temperature SEM magnification series for a snow crystal. ...

There are four groups of insect that are renowned for this type of lifestyle. Three are well known and contain a huge number of species among them, while the fourth, the Stylopid (or stylops), are in fact closest to the Coleoptera (Beetles), and are less well known. Suborders Adephaga Archostemata Myxophaga Polyphaga many subgroups: see Subgroups of the order Coleoptera Beetles (order Coleoptera) are one of the main groups of insects. ...
Below are the four groups (two in the Hymenoptera):

A parasitoid is an organism that spends a significant portion of its life history attached to or within a single host organism which it ultimately kills (and often consumes) in the process.
Koinobionts can be further subdivided into endoparasitoids, which, like idiobionts, develop inside of the prey, and ectoparasitoids, which develop outside the host body, though they are frequently attached or embedded in the host's tissues.
Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) is a solitary endoparasitoid that attacks the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (Fabricius).
