Talk:Ulteramus

Parasitic
Sawflies as a group are parasitic in the larval stage to a variety of host plants. This is commonly talked about in botanical and entomological literature.-- Kev min  § 17:34, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sawflies have herbivorous larvae; calling them parasitic because they do not consume the entire host plant is not accepted practice in biology. Some sawflies in this family roll leaves, which might qualify as parasitism, but it's a bit of a stretch; besides, there is no evidence whatsoever that Ulteramus did that. Aside from these considerations, a parasitic wasp is generally understood to be something entirely different and, beyond even this, if all sawflies were indeed parasitic, it would be a useless repetition to point it out in each genus' description. complainer (talk) 11:34, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Parasitism, and taking it to talk is what happens when its clear that two parties on Wiki do not agree about an article aspect.-- Kev min  § 13:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I read that article before posting here: I invite you to do the same. You might also want not to blatantly ignore the other two points above. complainer (talk) 13:14, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I have not ignored your points, I do not agree with them however. The pedantry of arguing over a single word on a general encyclopedia page is not worth the effort, when i would rather be doing article construction.  As a note I NEVER tried to link Ulteramus into the apocrita parasitoids.-- Kev  min  § 13:24, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
