Encarsia formosa 10,000 (100/Card)
#17085
Quantity Per Case: N/A
Quantity Per Pallet: N/A
Encarsia formosa wasps are among the earliest biological controls used in greenhouse IPM programs to manage greenhouse whiteflies. Female wasps actively search for whitefly larvae and lay their eggs within them, typically preferring the third and early fourth instars. Each adult emerges through a characteristic round exit hole on the back of the whitefly pupa. Over its lifespan, a single female can parasitize around 250-450 larvae and kill an additional 30-70 by host-feeding.
Key Features:
- Parasitic wasp (endoparasitoid) targeting whitefly infestations
- Thrives at lower temperatures
- Kills whiteflies through parasitism and additional host-feeding
- High female ratio, with at least 98% of individuals being female
