As noted above, males of the various species are somewhat easier to distinguish, but make up less than 5% of most populations and in most species, further reduce their numbers by dismembering one another; their variability and polymorphisms deserve far more attention than they have received. For both sexes, large population samples are the norm (with 400–600 individuals arising from a single large host cocoon such as
