abstract：:Behavioural responses to odours delivered in an olfactometer prove that Leptopilina boulardi (Hymenoptera: Eucoilidae), a parasitic wasp of Drosophila larvae, is able to memorize three different odours which have been associated successively with oviposition experience.

Thus the development od stereotypies indicates that well-being has probably been poor, with the animal motivated to show a behaviour pattern that it could not perform normally or to completion.
