🐝 This is the Encarsia Formosa, a tiny wasp used to control whitefly populations.

Encarsia Formosa control whiteflies in 2 ways:
1️⃣ Feeding on whiteflies
2️⃣ Laying eggs inside them in the immature stages + parasitising them

Biocontrol

“electronics could take over the control of unruly humans. This could save the indoctrination and thought controllers a lot of fuss and bother.”

⚠️🐛🦠 Project Mothstorm Update - Looking for Western Tussock Moth Caterpillars!

In addition to #budworm and #armyworm specimens, I'm looking for these caterpillars displaying signs of infection by microbes for research into additional #biocontrol !

Followup. After I did some self-treatments with DE, cleaning, etc. Landlord sent a team to apply fungal spores for further biocontrol. I did a bit of research on that cuz I'm basically a microbiologist. I also learned about fungi when I took classes. What a callback.
