They also eat aphids rather than just parasitizing them, making them a valuable addition to any pest management program. Females have a black thorax and yellow abdomen and can measure up to 3mm in length. Males are smaller and darker in color. A female can lay up to 250 eggs in a 3-week cycle. After 3-5 days the eggs hatch into larvae that will feed on the internal contents of the aphid for about 5-10 days. After completing development, the larvae pupate, and a new generation of adults emerge from the aphid mummies continuing the reproductive cycle for sustainable aphid management. \u003cspan style=\"color: #404040;\"\u003eThe first mummies should be seen in your crops in a minimum of 14 days after  the first release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesGoodGuys","offers":[{"title":"250 Mummies per Bottle","offer_id":42495748636863,"sku":"331","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1k Mummies per Bottle","offer_id":42495748767935,"sku":"335","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1373\/5481\/files\/NGG_Abdominalis_ProductShot250_1800x1400_c1fbd0a5-bfcd-4718-978d-3e70d1bc8cf6.jpg?v=1742503092","url":"https:\/\/www.naturesgoodguys.sbs\/products\/aphelinus-abdominalis","provider":"NaturesGoodGuys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
