College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Department of Entomology

Andrew is a Master's student studying the Samba Wasp, a parasitoid wasp of Spotted-Wing Drosophila, as a biocontrol agent. His work will look at the parasitoid's ability to control the pest populations and overall fitness in Michigan. Andrew began working in IPM after joining the Isaacs Lab in 2019, where he learned how to apply different IPM methods in blueberry, grapes, and cherries, while earning a B.S. in entomology.
