测定了强辐射雌蜂的寿命。在食物存在下（预先叮的宿主毛虫）以及在饥饿条件下。只有在饥饿的条件下，才发现辐照的成年黄蜂的寿命增加，并解释了处理过的昆虫的不活动。诱导这种嗜睡的剂量远低于导致成虫迅速死亡所需的剂量，但超过了使成虫绝育并杀死所有未成熟阶段的剂量水平。因此，如果成虫的存在不是令人反感的，那么诱导非进食性嗜睡可能是比快速杀死暴露更可行的昆虫控制技术方法。神经系统对辐射的敏感性似乎比从形态学研究中推断的要高。
The longevity of heavily irradiated female wasps was detd. in the presence of food (pre-stung host caterpillars) as well as under starvation conditions. An increase in life span of irradiated adult wasps was found only under starvation conditions and is explained by the inactivity of the treated insects. This lethargy is induced at a much lower dose than that required to cause prompt adult death but exceeds dose levels which sterilize adults and kill all immature stages. Therefore, if the presence of adult insects is not objectionable, the induction of non-feeding lethargy may be a more feasible technical approach to insect control than quick-killing exposures. It seems likely that the nervous system may be more sensitive to irradiation than has been deduced from morphological studies.
