This study compares fitness-related traits in two koinobiont endoparasitoids.
•
Meteorus pulchricornis is approximately twice the size of Microplitis mediator.
•
Both parasitoids developed in different larval instars of Mamestra brassicae.
•
Development time was more important for fitness than body size.
•
Trade-offs in these traits were more apparent in M. pulchricornis.
