With a black body, clear wings, and measuring a mere 0.5-1mm, ENCARSIA are hard to see without magnification. Interestingly, these natural predators parasitize whitefly nymphs and pupae rather than eggs, and their predatory companion, DELPHASTUS, will not feed on whitefly nymphs that have been parasitized by ENCARSIA. Females can individually lay up to 100 eggs within a 1-2 week lifespan by injecting them inside whitefly nymphs or pupae. In about 3-5 days, the eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on the host through larval development for approxim
