We confirmed the parasitic characteristics of Asobara japonica according to the stage of development of Drosophila suzukii and observed the morphological differences between parasitized and unparasitized D. suzukii larvae and pupae. It was also confirmed that emergence period of A. japonica was longer than that of D. suzukii. A. japonica showed an effective parasitic and insecticidal effect on D. suzukii larvae, and it is expected that A. japonica could be used as a natural enemy for the control of D. suzukii.
