Encarsia formosa is a parasitic wasp of the Aphelinidae family. 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.
