No, because they need to be pupae and it will probably take too long to wait.

Holy cow everyone is finding social parasites! I hope I do lol.Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2017 8:05 amSocial parsites will not lay eggs until they have host workers. You can offer the pupae in an adjoined test tube, which the queen will horde almost immediately upon discovery.
