| Encarsia formosa |
Encarsia formosa is one of the early commercilaized biological controls used in greenhouse IPM programs to control greenhouse whiteflies. The female wasps will actively search for whitefly larvae in the crop and will lay their eggs inside the larvae. Encarsia can develop in any larval stage of the whitefly, but prefers the third and early fourth instar. A new adult emerges through a round exit hole at the back of the pupa. During her life one female can parasitize around 250-450 whitefly larvae, and kills another 30-70 larvae by host-feeding.
