diamondback moth.

Life stages: Adults are small wasps, dark-colored and look like flying ants or tiny flies. The adult female looks for hosts in leaves and in tunnels of crops. These wasps have needle like ovipositor at the tip of the curved abdomen. Some species lay about 1565 eggs in the body cavity of the host while some lay a single egg. Eggs hatch 2 dayslater. The first instar parasitoid larvae begin feed internally and emerge from the host by chewing through the skin and immediately spin cocoons and pupate. Pupte in silken cocoons. Pupa rests for 4-6 days, after which adults emerge. A single wasp can parasitize 200-300 host caterpillars during its 10-14 day life.

Life stages: The adult wasp lay eggs inside white fly larva and it turns black when Encarsia pupates inside. Adult wasps emerge from the parasitized pupae by chewing a hole in the top of the scale. Adults are very tiny wasps, about 1 mm in size can look actively and effectively for whiteflies in radius of 10-30 m looking for hosts. An adult female wasp can lay 60-100 eggs. The life cycle is completed within 2-4 weeks depending on the climatic conditions.

Life stages: Adults look very similar to the common housefly but are larger with gray black to brightly colored bodies. The female adult lays her eggs near or into the larvae, or in the vicinity of the insect. The larvae hatch after ingestion or hatch on the body surface and bore in to host larvae. The larvae are greenish-white in color enter into its host and feed on the content before pupating into the soil. She can lay as many as 1000-2000 eggs in her lifetime. Adults can live from 3 days to 2 months.

Life stages: Adult hoverflies are true flies with only two wings dark body and banded yellow and black abdomen. They closely resemble bees or wasps rather than flies. They hover over flowers like humming birds and are able to remain absolutely stationary in midair. Glistening white colored eggs laid close to the developing aphid colony in the leaves, shoots, or stems of the plants. The larvae are in a mottled gray, beige, or light green colorand suck out the contents of the preys. They blend well with their habitat and therefore they must be looked for closely to locate them. Pupae are found in the soil surface or in the plant's foliage.

leafhopper nymphs and eggs, scale insects.

Life stages: Adults are green to yellowish-green with four, delicate transparent wings that have many veins and cross veins. Adults are about 18 mm long and red-gold eyes. Eggs are found on slender stalks or on the underside of leaves. Each egg is attached to the top of a hair-like filament. Each adult female may deposit more than 100 eggs. Larvae grow to about 1cm in length. They attack their prey by taking them with their large sucking jaws and injecting paralyzing poison, and then sucking out the body fluids of the pest. A larva can eat 200 or more pests or pest eggs a week. An older larva can consume 30-50 aphids per day. It can consume more than 400 aphids during its development. Pupate for 5 days in cocoons with silken threads.

Life stages: Adults are oval to hemispherical and strongly convex brightly colored in yellow and red, spotted or striped with black. When disturbed, some of them emit a strong smelling yellow liquid as a protection against other predators. They lay clusters of 10 -50 eggs on the underside of leaves or near the aphid colony. Newly hatched larvae are gray or black and less than 4 mm long. They emerge as dark alligator-like with black, or blue with bright yellow or orange markings on the body and are adorned with spines. They have long sharp mandibles and feed on small insects like their adults. They pupate on the leaves and stems of plants where larvae have fed and developed. They are the best-known predators of aphids and are capable of eating up to 50-60 per day and about 5000 aphids in their lifetime.

Life stages: Adult ground beetles or Carabids are about 2-6cm long, dark shiny brown to metallic black, blue, green, purple, or multi-colored. Eggs are normally laid singly in the soil. Pupa is brownish black, small and found in the soil. Both adults and larvae have strong pincher-like mandibles. They have prominent long legs, which make them fast moving insects. Most species are nocturnal and they hide during the day leaf litter. When disturbed or when other vertebrates prey upon them, they emit an odor or gas, as a type of defense mechanism, preventing them from being eaten by other predators. Adults may live 2 to 3 years or longer.

Life stages: An adults have a long thin body which is green, blue, red, yellow, black, or brown and is often brightly colored and have four large membranous wings of nearly equal size. Eggs are laid in emerging plants, in floating vegetation. At the last stage, a naiad swims out of the water and clings to a plant to dry its skin. After a few minutes of drying in the sun, its outer skin splits open at the head and the adult flies away.They capture prey as they fly and hold the prey in their legs and devour it by chewing. They complete their life cycle from 1-2 years.

The first brood of workers are normally smaller since she can only provide a limited amount of food. Once the ants mature, they leave the nest and begin to look for preys and bring food to the queen and their siblings so that later offsprings are bigger.
