E. formosa can utilize at least 15 species of whitefly as hosts but the principal host is the greenhouse whitefly.The tiny females are black with a yellow abdomen and opalescent wings while the males (although rare) are completely black in color. E. formosa should only be applied when temperatures range between 20-30°C. Parasitized greenhouse whitefly pupae turn black in about 10 days and are easily distinguished from non-parasitized hosts.
