The almond seed wasp (Eurytoma amygdali Enderlein) is a wasp from the order Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae family. The almond wasp is an important pest for almonds in the European, the Caucasus and the Middle East almond growing countries. In Romania the almond crop has regained interest among farmers. Recent observations confirm that this insect is present also in Romania, in the Dobrogea region. Almond fruits attacked by Eurytoma amygdali have been collected from the spontaneous flora, kept in laboratory conditions and microscopically observed, before, in time and after pupation. This paper might be of interest for farmers, pest-control products companies, as well for the pheromone traps R & D industry.
