Chelonus formosanus is a parasitic wasp capable of parasitizing various Noctuidae pests, including the highly invasive Spodoptera frugiperda, and it demonstrates strong pest control potential. Both egg larval stages primarily occur within host organism, total developmental time from to adult approximately 19.62 days. To investigate microbial communities at different stages, we performed 16S rDNA sequencing (V1–V9 region) using PacBio identified 404 bacterial species belonging 61 classes, 116 orders, 182 families, 308 genera across larval, pupal, female, male stages. Bacterial diversity richness varied with Enterobacter Enterococcus dominating in larvae pupae Pseudomonas emerging as dominant female adults. In contrast, adults predominantly resided Ralstonia Achromobacter. The predicted functions bacteria C. are marked by high abundance metabolic pathways. This study provides comprehensive understanding morphology contributes practical pests. Additionally, our findings preliminarily characterized community laying groundwork for its functional study.
