Pimpla disparis is a species of Ichneumonidae wasp. It is a pupal parasitoid of Lymantria dispar,² although it is a generalist parasitoid, attacking other species such as Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis.³ It is native to the Palearctic realm, and has since the 1970s been introduced to the United States for biological pest control.⁴
