MightyBug Encarsia formosa is a parasitoid wasp that hunts and kills whiteflies. These beneficial insects will fly around to search for whiteflies, which are typically found hidden on the underside of leaves on a variety of garden flowering, fruit and vegetable plants.
Distributed within the plant canopy, Encarsia will emerge from the cards provided and parasitise larvae and pupae of whitefly species commonly found on plants grown in the UK in greenhouses and indoors. Encarsia are also able to kill Brassica whitefly (Aleyrodes proletella), which are often found on UK outdoor brassica vegetables, such as kale, Brussels sprouts and vegetables.
