Encarsia wasp head, SEM
Parasitic wasp. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of the wasp Encarsia formosa, a parasite of garden whitefly. Whitefly are a common pest of garden plants and crops. The wasps lay their eggs in the immature forms of the whitefly, killing them. They are so quick and efficient at this, especially in an enclosed area such as a greenhouse, that they are preferred to chemical pesticides. Magnification: x200 at 6x7cm size
