How It Works
The larvae of the Trichogramma hatch inside the eggs of the pest and consume the egg before it can develop into the caterpillar. Adult Trichogramma will also kill host eggs by feeding on them; the host egg is stung and the female feeds on drops of liquid appearing at the site of the sting. The host egg dies leaving no evidence of parasitism.

How It Works
The larvae of the Trichogramma will hatch inside the eggs of the pest and consume the egg before it can develop into the caterpillar which causes crop damage. Meanwhile, adult Trichogramma will also kill host eggs by feeding on them; the host egg is stung and the female feeds on drops of liquid appearing at the site of the sting. The host egg dies leaving no evidence of parasitism.
