Aphid Triple Mix | A. colemani + A. ervi + A. abdominalis

Aphelinus abdominalis, Aphidius colemani & Aphidius ervi Target Pests Covers small, large, and hard-to-control aphid species: Small-Bodied Aphids: Green peach, melon/cotton, black bean, and other small aphid species. Large-Bodied Aphids: Potato, foxglove, pea, and other large aphid species. Also Effective Against: Brown citrus, cotton, green apple, greenhouse, rose, and various other aphid species. Product Description This three-way mix gives you the broadest aphid coverage available, combining complementary parasitoids that target different aphid sizes and species. Aphidius colemani controls smaller-bodied aphids, Aphidius ervi controls larger-bodied aphids, and Aphelinus abdominalis rounds out the mix. Unlike many parasitoids, A. abdominalis adults also eat aphids directly rather than just parasitizing them. You'll receive aphid mummies from all three species, each containing a developing parasitoid ready to emerge and continue the cycle. Eggs hatch into larvae within 2-5 days, feed and pupate inside the aphid host, then emerge as adults to parasitize more aphids. Females can lay 100+ eggs (A. colemani/A. ervi) or up to 250 eggs (A. abdominalis) over their lifespans.
