see Text Melittobia is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.

They have a skewed sex ratio with 95% of the offspring being females which are from fertilised eggs but males are produced asexually through arrhenotoky.

[4] The females have overlapping adult generations and show close ties of kinship, parental care and altruistic cooperative escape behaviors.

[4] They breed well in the laboratory and are seen as potential model organisms in the study of genetics, developmental biology and ethology.
