We have been surveying a gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lep., Lymantriidae), population in the oak forest of Klingenbach near Eisenstadt, Austria, since 1992. During the last gradation from 1993 to 1996, we studied the natural enemy complex at this site in comparison with other locations where no outbreak occurred (HOCH et al. 2001). During the latency years, an experimental study on the impact of predators on L. dispar pupal populations was performed (GSCHWANTNER et al. 2002). The population density was recorded regularly; in the winter 2001/02, the egg mass surveys indicated a rising population after seven years of latency. We used this opportunity to study the parasitoid complex in the progradation phase. This phase of gypsy moth population dynamics was not studied in our previous work. Moreover, it allowed us to repeat the investigation during the outbreak after 11 years.
