More precisely:
> Are there cameras/webcams that can be used to record (continuously) for a whole day or more a small organ of a plant (e.g. stipules) and the visits it gets from small insects like parasitoids?
Thank you for all ideas/advice/suggestions, even if it was for a different insect type.
Dear Louise,
Try the Noldus website. We have used their equipment for tracking mosquitoes.
Best,
Guy
Thank you Guy, I checked this website, but I was actually thinking of something cheaper... like middle-quality webcams (I found that the Microsoft HD 3000 or the Logitech c920 are 2 webcams used for insect behaviour study, although I am not sure their resolution is precise enough to locate small insects like parasitoids). Since it is for a lab experiment and the camera should be focused on a non-moving target, I thought I could use non-high quality material. Best regards, Louise.
Dear Louise
I think that portable digital microscope may be suitable for this purpose.

Good Luck
Thank you, a digital microscope does look suitable for my study, I did not know about them. Best regards.
I tried several similar digital microscopes bought on Aliexpress, the result is more than worthy at this price.
Yes, there are many types of carema which focus insect overall behavior
